=== Description ===

The FTP Client Engine for Visual Basic (FCE4VB)

program capable of calling the Windows API to
connect to any FTP server and navigate its
directory structure, list files, delete files,
make and remove directories, download files, and
upload files, all from within your Visual Basic
application. 

The same DLLs can also be used with supported languages 
such as Visual C/C++, .NET, Delphi, Visual FoxPro,
PowerBASIC (PB/CC, PB/DLL, PB/WIN), Visual dBASE, and 
Xbase++ as well as any VBA language such as EXCEL, 
WORD, or ACCESS.

Requires Visual Basic, VB.Net, or VBA.

arshallSoft Computing also has versions of FCE for 
C/C++ (and .NET), (FCE4C), Delphi (FCE4D), PowerBASIC (FCE4PB), 
Visual FoxPro (FCE4FP), Visual dBASE (FCE4DB), and Xbase++ (FCE4XB) 
As noted above, all versions of FCE use the same DLLs 
(FCE16.DLL or FCE32.DLL). However, the examples provided for each 
version are written for the specified computer language.
