=== Description ===

The FTP Client Engine for Delphi (FCE) consists
of Win16 and Win32 DLL's 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 & remove directories,
download files, and upload files, all from within
your Delphi application. Requires Borland Delphi.

MarshallSoft Computing also has versions of FCE for 
C/C++ (FCE4C), Visual Basic (FCE4VB), 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 environment. 
   
All versions of FCE can be downloaded from our web site at
