Magenta Systems File Transfer Components (ID #24428)

Magenta Systems Ltd

Magenta Systems File Transfer Components comprise three Delphi components, TMagenataFtp, TMagenHttp and TMagFileCopy, the first two of which are high level descendants of the ICS V6 FTP Client and HTTP Client components, all allowing transfer of multiple files and subdirectories with a single function call.

The three components handle file listing from FTP, HTTP and disk volumes, and multiple file copying. They also include optional zipping or unzipping (requires TVCLZip component). There are numerous options available, including copying only newer files, deleting old target files, deletion after transfer, resumed failed FTP downloads and uploads, and a progress events with various levels of information for logging or display, depending upon application requirements that allows transfers to be cancelled. FTP and file copying supports files larger than 2 gigs (64-bit).

A simple demonstration program that illustrates all major functionality. End user help is available describing most of the functionality in Magenta Systems DUN Manager application (from http://www.magsys.co.uk/dunman/), look under Scheduled Task Properties, FTP General, FTP Common, FTP Upload, FTP Download. HTTP Download and Sync Files. DUN Manager also provides a compiled test application for the components, using all functions (but DUN
Manager source code is not available).
