Features | Detailed Description
Available in .NET, VCL and ActiveX editions.
The FTP component is used for uploading and downloading files, as well as managing files and directories as specified in RFC 765, RFC 959 and RFC 1579 documents.
You can connect the FTP component via Proxy or log on to the server that requires the SSL authentication by means of both the ProxySettings and UseTLS properties correspondingly. See FTP + SSL
The FTP component allows you to pause / resume the file downloading and uploading processes; resume broken downloads / uploads from the point where it stops.
