=== Description ===

The FTP Client Engine for Visual Xbase++ (FCE4XB)
consists a Win32 DLL that allows any 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 FoxPro 
application. 

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

Requires any version of Xbase++.

MarshallSoft Computing also has versions of FCE for 
C/C++/.NET (FCE4C), Delphi (FCE4D), PowerBASIC (FCE4PB), 
Visual Basic (FCE4VB), Visual dBASE (FCE4DB), and FoxPro (FCE4FP) 
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. 
   
All versions of FCE can be downloaded from our web site at
