Environment: VC6 SP2, NT4 SP5

Many times I have needed to browse an FTP site and download a file.
However, I could never locate any code to show me how.
Therefore, I wrote a C++ class that enables you to browse and download files from
any FTP site.

To use this class, simply insert the following files into your project:

  • FtpFileBrowse.cpp
  • FtpFilebrowse.h
  • CProp.cpp
  • CProp.h

Once you’ve done that, all you need to do is instantiate a FtpFileBrowse object and call
its SetServer and DoModal methods.

 FtpFileBrowse myfile;
 myfile.SetServer("mozart","viragava","def123");
 if(myfile.DoModal()==IDOK)
	MessageBox(myfile.GetFilePath());
