[DUG] Delphi ftp server component

[Conor Boyd]

He did say "server component"... ;-)

While we're (now) on the subject of FTP clients, I don't understand
sticking with the command line option, when there are such excellent
free tools as FileZilla or SmartFTP (free for personal use), both of
which provide e.g. queues, multiple connections, auto-mode detection,
auto-shutdown, timezone correction, bookmarks, etc, and a lot more.

Cheers,

C.

Remember that one very simple way is the original:

I haven't tried it from inside Delphi (using Shellexec) but for years I
have done FTP via the standard original command line interface that is
built into
windows.   In fact the only time I don't use it is when I am sending a
large
number of files, some text (eg html) and some binary (eg GIF) because it
is a pain to change modes.

Go to Start/Run/cmd and type

ftp -h

All the basic functionality is already there.  If it is called using
Shellexec its automatically in a separate process.

John
