1. Can I embed edtFTPnet in commercial applications?

Yes, as it is under the GNU Library GPL you can freely embed this code in any application whatsoever for no cost. Note that the usual GPL restrictions of making any modifications public must be observed if you are redistributing the library.

We do re-license the source under a completely unrestricted licence to individuals and companies who wish to use the source in their own applications, without LGPL restrictions. Please contact us for more details.

See edtFTPnet/PRO for secure file transfers via FTPS.

3. Does edtFTPnet support mget/mput?

No, to keep it simple, edtFTPnet only supports the FTP protocol, which does not support mget/mput. However see edtFTPnet/PRO, which contains recursive mget, mput and mdelete methods (called MultiplePut, MultipleGet, MultipleDelete).

4. Is edtFTPnet thread safe?

No, this would incur a significant performance penalty for users that do not require a thread safe library. Instead, synchronize your own code to ensure multiple threads do not access the same FTPClient object.

5. Can you give me some examples of how to use edtFTPnet?

Yes, look in the "examples" subdirectory in the distribution.

6. I think I've found a bug. What should I do?

Check you are using the latest version of the library. If you are, and you can isolate the problem, send us a detailed description, including debug output and relevant stack traces. We'll look into it as soon as possible. Of course, if you can fix it yourself, please do so, and send us the fix/patch.

7. How can I be notified of new releases?

You can be notified of new releases by subscribing to our (low traffic) email list.

8. I'd like an enhancement made to the library. Can you do it for me?

Yes, but you will have to pay for it, and you must agree that we will retain the intellectual property rights so that we have the option of including the enhancement in future releases of the library if we choose to do so. Email us to discuss your requirements.

9. I like your design and your code. Can I hire you?

EDT has a number of consultants who may be available for external consulting or development projects. We specialise in small to medium sized projects involving Java, J2EE, EJB, Tomcat, Weblogic and JBoss, on Unix and Windows platforms, and .NET on Windows. We can mentor teams, give expert advice on designs, or run entire projects. We emphasize the use of Open Source in our projects, which help reduce costs. We are based in Brisbane, Australia, but are happy to undertake projects remotely. Email this address to discuss your requirements with us.
