Internet Components
File Transfers
Upload and download files using FTP, SFTP and HTTP, along with secure file transfers using TLS 1.3 and SSH 2.0. You can also search for files, delete and rename files, move folders and perform other management tasks on the server.
Web Services
Send secure requests to any web service which implements a REST API in just a few lines of code with built-in support for XML and JSON payloads. Secure connections use TLS 1.3 or TLS 1.2 with support for HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 (QUIC).
Artificial Intelligence
Integrate artificial intelligence capabilities into your Windows applications using the Large Language Model (LLM) components. Connect to popular cloud-based AI services as well as locally hosted models, without having to implement provider-specific APIs or manage the complexities of individual service integrations.
Send and retrieve e-mail messages using the SMTP, POP3 and IMAP4 mail protocols. Compose and process multipart MIME e-mails with HTML formatting and multiple file attachments with only a few lines of code.
Custom Servers
Design your own custom server protocol or embed a standard FTP or HTTP server in your software to provide data access and remote management features. Secure connections are supported using TLS 1.2 or later.
Data Encryption
General purpose data protection using strong AES 256-bit encryption. You can easily encrypt files, blocks of data in memory and strings with a single method call. Combine with our data compression features to secure your private data.
Cloud Storage
Manage your application data using our private cloud storage service which enables you to securely upload and download data securely. No public third-party services are required, and there are no additional fees.
Usenet News
List newsgroups, download files and images, and post news articles using the Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP). Supports authentication and secure connections using TLS 1.2 or later. Includes support for 64-bit article IDs.
Newsfeeds
Download newsfeed content from sites using the Rich Site Summary (RSS) format. This component can be used to monitor feeds to check for content changes and collect aggregate data from a variety of different websites.
Text Messages
Send text messages to mobile devices using SMS (Short Message Service) gateways without requiring a third-party service. Notify your users when there are important updates or a critical event occurs.
