What platforms does Rebex consider "legacy"?
Legacy platforms are platforms that are no longer covered by our Standard Support but have not yet reached End of Life. Legacy Editions of Rebex components targeting these platforms are available as separate products.
What is the difference between a Legacy Edition and standard edition?
- Standard editions of Rebex components only include binaries and support for platforms covered by Standard Support.
- Legacy Editions only include binaries and support for specific legacy platforms (such as .NET CF 3.5/3.9).
using (var client = new Rebex.Net.Ftp())
{
// connect and log in
client.Connect("test.rebex.net");
client.Login("demo", "password");
// download a file
client.Download("/pub/example/readme.txt", @"C:\MyData");
}
Why Rebex FTP/SSL?
Easy-to-use API
Login with... anything
Rich file API
Upload a file from the filesystem or memory. Rename and move files. Check existing files. Or perform other single file SFTP operations.
Or simply transfer many files at once. Upload and download whole directory structures. Use wildcards or file sets to specify which files to transfer. Monitor transfer progress with events.
Directory operations
Need to work with directories? List their content, create or rename them. You can even delete non-empty folders recursively (and handle symlinks properly) using a single line of code.
Powerful directory listing parser
The original FTP standard defined no standard directory listing format. As a result, listings used by different FTP server on different operating system are very diverse.
Fortunately, you don't have to worry about this with Rebex FTP/SSL. It's reliable listing parser has been under continuous development since 2003 and can detect and parse virtually any common directory listing format used by Unix, Windows, Netware, DOS, VMS, IBM 4690 or Tandem Guardian FTP servers.
Even if you come across a rare format which is not yet supported out-of-the-box, can still easily add your own custom directory listing parser .
Secure file transfers
Rebex FTP/SSL supports both plain FTP and FTP secured with TLS/SSL. This protocol ensures that the file transfers are secure and reliable. Rebex FTP/SSL supports both implicit or explicit TLS/SSL and provides a rich set of security features. You'll find APIs for TLS/SSL security, X.509 certificates, and more.
- TLS 1.3 on mainstream platforms including .NET 3.5-4.8 on Windows 7 (or Windows XP SP3 with plugins)
- TLS 1.2, 1.1, 1.0 on all platforms (including .NET Compact Framework 3.5/3.9)
- Elliptic Curve DSA and Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman ciphers (requires a plugin on some platforms)
- AES/GCM ciphers
- Elliptic Curve DSA and Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman ciphers (requires plugin on some platforms)
- SHA-2 certificates
- SHA-2 hashing algorithms
- Server Name Indication (SNI) extension
- Renegotiation Indication extension
- Support for legacy SSL 3.0 protocol
Trusted by thousands of .NET developers worldwide
Thousands of developers chose Rebex FTP for adding FTP and SSL capabilities to their applications.
Want an example? Just check your Visual Studio installation folders and you'll find Rebex DLLs there. It's because Microsoft uses Rebex FTP and SFTP in Visual Studio and several other products.
You'll be in a good company.
