edtFTPnet/PRO Frequently Asked Questions

What type of secure FTP does edtFTPnet/PRO support?

There is considerable confusion when using the term "secure FTP". There are two different types of secure file transfer protocols available. edtFTPnet/PRO supports both.

Firstly, there is an enhancement to standard FTP (as defined in RFC 959), which uses the same FTP commands (and protocol) over secure sockets, i.e. over SSL/TLS. This is variously known as FTPS, FTP-SSL, and FTP-over-SSL. There are many FTP servers that support FTPS.

There is also another protocol, unfortunately known as SFTP, which also provides secure file access, but which is not related to the standard FTP protocol. This is implemented using SSH (Secure SHell), a suite of secure network connectivity tools (when used with SSH2 this is known as SFTP). The primary purpose of SSH is to enable users to remotely log into a machine over a secure connection. The two protocols are completely different and not related.

What FTPS servers does edtFTPnet/PRO support?

Almost all servers are supported - email support if yours is not and we'll do our best to add support for it.

Can edtFTPnet/PRO be used for standard FTP too?

Yes, in SecureFTPConnection just set the Protocol to FTP.

Can edtFTPnet/PRO be used in non-GUI apps?

Yes, edtFTPnet/PRO works in non-GUI apps including console applications and Windows services. Of course it will also work in Windows Forms apps, where the FTP GUI controls can save the developer a lot of time and effort.
