You know programming, we know secure file transfer. Now, our mutual strengths are combined in the WS_FTP Professional Software Development Kit (SDK). The SDK enables developers to create customized data management applications by embedding or integrating the functionality of WS_FTP Professional into core business applications and platforms, such as sales, inventory, financial, database, and CRM systems.

With its standards-based, Component Object Model (COM) architecture, the SDK enables WS_FTP Professional secure file transfer technology to be embedded in both commercial and externally developed applications using any developer language, such as C++, and any universal scripting language, such as JavaScript, VB.NET, and C#. Because the SDK draws on your own programming knowledge and software to create applications, programming time is significantly reduced. And because you can embed our proven file transfer expertise right into your applications and platforms, you can be assured that you have all the capabilities you need for moving files and data safely throughout the enterprise.

The SDK comes in two versions: the regular WS_FTP Professional SDK, and the premium WS_FTP Professional Secure SDK, which give network administrators and software developers the ability to leverage the advanced secure file transfer capabilities of WS_FTP Professional, including encrypting file transfers over secure protocols such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL / FTPS) and Secure File Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Shell (SSH / SFTP).
