Introduction to the C program interface

You can use the C program interface to incorporate the functionality of openFT in your own C programs:

  • synchronous file transmission

  • asynchronous file transfer

  • managing and deleting asynchronous file transfer requests

  • determining file attributes in the remote system

  • deleting files or directories in the remote system

  • creating directories in the remote system

  • executing commands in the remote system

These functions which are available to the openFT user can be used in C programs to automate sequences. The program interface naturally also provides monitoring and error handling mechanisms.
In addition, the program interface has a function call which you can use determine the properties of the program interface. You can use this call to check the properties and thus render your programs insensitive to changes in later versions.
Under Windows, the program interface supports multithreading, i.e. all program interface calls are thread-safe.
