transport layer security support in vc++6

[ngayathri]

Can anyone give the information whether vc++6 has built in library support for ftps(TLS 1.0).

If not then how can I proceed for supporting my ftp application with TLS security?

Thankx

There must be built-in support in Windows. Search for "SCHANNEL.DLL" which contains relevant functions. I have never used it, though.

Or else search for "openSSL".

can u suggest me a site where I can get infn abt how to access functions present in schannel.dll thru vc++6 code.

Thankx.

you can try to search MSDN. I don't remember any of the functions in the DLL, but will try to provide one.
Do a search here on codeguru (or on codeproject), there must be examples of a SLL client/server app.

you might want to start your search with "CertOpenStore".

HTH,

are u sure that I will be able to enhance the simple ftp application with tls support by including schannel.dll and using its functions in vc++.

thankx for the response.

I don't know about your requirements. I was simply trying to provide you with some hints where to find information about TLS on Windows.
