The SVN repositories for V5, V6 and V7 have all been updated in the last few days various bug fixes and new features, primarily for FTP, but also MIME and other components.
Arno and I have added Unicode UTF-8 and code page support to the v7 FTP client and server, so they are now fully internationalised when built with Delphi 2009. There are many comments in the FTP client code about interworking with the more common FTP servers. The FTP server and client now support the new HOST command (defined by Microsoft and supported by Windows 2008 FTP server). HOST works similarly to HOST in HTTP, allowing multiple host domains to share a single IP address. If enabled in the client, HOST is sent before the logon and causes the server to select the correct host domain against which to authenticate. The HOST command solves a problem for ISP's needing to allocate individual IP addresses to allow FTP access with shared servers. Obviously this facility will only become useful once most clients support it, so please do try and upgrade your applications to v7. Information about downloading from the SVN repository is on the ICS web site, or the zipped versions of the latest SVN V6 and V7 may be downloaded from: http://www.magsys.co.uk/delphi/magxfer.asp http://www.magsys.co.uk/download/software/icsv6w.zip http://www.magsys.co.uk/download/software/icsv7w.zip The Magenta Systems File Transfer Components have also been updated for the new V6 and V7 SVNs, there are three versions supporting FTP in different way: * v2.5 only supports ANSI named files on all compilers, with ICS v6 or v7, dated August 2008 or later * v3.2 supports ANSI named files with Delphi 7 and 2007, and Unicode named files with Delphi 2009, with ICS v7 only, dated November 2008 or later, SVN revision 232 or later. * v3.2W supports Unicode named files on Delphi 2007 and later, with ICS v7 only, dated November 2008 or later, SVN revision 232 or later, using custom wide versions of the ICS components with wide strings. This version also includes a widestring version of the ICS FTP server supporting full Unicode with Delphi 2007. The TNT Delphi Unicode Controls are used to display a Unicode log window.
