developers to access File Transfer Protocol (FTP) services directly.

KCommon's FTP component was designed to compensate for the fact that .NET

lacks FTP support. With this FTP component, programmers can build either

Windows Forms or ASP.NET (Web Forms) applications that will allow users to

send or receive a single file or multiple files, using the FTP protocol.

Operations for synchronous and asynchronous (using a callback or an event)

transfers are supported. KCommon supports passive mode, but does not support

active mode, which could cause problems with poorly written firewalls.

Recall that in passive mode, the data flow is set up and initiated by the

FTP client, rather than the server. This means improved security for the

client computer, because it won't have to deal with data flow being set up

by the server. The component is written in C#. It is not marked as CLS

compliant. It does not support proxy servers. The online description
