SocketTools 6.0 components are compatible with version 4.0 and 5.0 and support
side-by-side deployment,

File Transfer .NET and Internet Mail .NET
If you are working with the .NET Framework and need to incorporate file
transfer or e-mail functionality in your software, the new File Transfer .NET and
Internet Mail .NET components can enable you to add those features quickly and
easily, with a minimum of coding and virtually no learning curve. These managed
code classes are similar to what is offered in our larger SocketTools .NET
product, but with a streamlined interface that is designed specifically for
developers who want a single interface that is easy to use and understand. Both
components also support secure connections using the standard SSL and TLS
security protocols, and the File Transfer component also supports the SFTP
protocol for secure file transfers using SSH. As with all of our components,
they are licensed without redistribution limitations, royalties or runtime
licensing fees. If you have an active SocketTools Subscription license, then
these new components are available to you free as part of the current update
to your subscription download.
