=== Description ===

The FTP Client Engine for Visual dBase (FCE4DB) allows any 32-bit
Visual dBase (or dBASE Plus) program to connect to any FTP server 
and navigate its directory structure, list files, delete files, 
make and remove directories, download files, and upload files. 

FCE4DB can be used to develop applications running under 32-bit 
or 64-bit Windows through Windows 10.

The same FCE32.DLL (or FCE64.DLL) can also be used with supported 
languages such as Visual C/C++, Delphi, Visual Basic, PowerBASIC, 
Visual FoxPro, and Xbase++ as well as any VBA language such as EXCEL, 
WORD, or ACCESS.

MarshallSoft Computing also has versions of FCE for C/C++ (FCE4C), 
Delphi (FCE4D), PowerBASIC (FCE4PB), Visual Basic (FCE4VB), Visual 
FoxPro (FCE4FP), and Xbase++ (FCE4XB). 

As noted above, all versions of FCE use the same DLLs (FCE32.DLL or 
FCE64.DLL), although the examples provided for each version are 
written for the specified computer language. 

All versions of FCE can be downloaded from our web site at
