Sapphire FTP Utility

Version

Product Details

Sapphire RAS Utility Demo Application

Your application may be dealing with all different types of data files. These could be stock lists, orders, images; pretty much anything your application can store. But consider the need to transfer these files from your device to your server. In most cases you will most likely want to use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) since it’s been well established since 1985 and still going strong.

The Sapphire FTP Utility gives you the ability to add file transfers and directory management with an FTP server to your application. The utility is fully compatible with eVB, VB.NET, C#, Satellite Forms and Microsoft Windows and allows you to rapidly add FTP functionality to your application.

Sample Code

Implementation couldn’t be easier, simply declare the DLL function as a function within your application and call it as though you wrote it yourself. Here’s a sample demo on how to connect to an FTP server within VB.NET.

Dim lResult As Integer

Dim lPassive As Integer

Dim lTimeOut As Integer

 

If MsgBox("Connect in Passive mode?", vbYesNo, _
                     "Sapphire FTP Explorer") = vbYes Then

  lPassive = 1

Else

  lPassive = 0

End If

 

lTimeOut = 10000 'Timeout in milliseconds

lResult = sFTPOpen(“ftp.server.com”, 21, “user”, “password”, lPassive, lTimeOut, SapphireFTPLicence)

If lResult <> FTP_NO_ERROR Then

  MsgBox("Unable to connect to server" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
         "Error: " &
GetFTPError(lResult), vbOKOnly + vbExclamation, _
         "Sapphire FTP")

Else

  MsgBox("Connect to server", vbOkOnly, "Sapphire FTP")

End If
