SUMMARY
The Microsoft Win32 Internet (WinInet) application programming interface (API) provides stand-alone client applications with easy access to standard Internet protocols, such as Gopher, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which abstract the protocols into a high-level interface that is familiar to Win32 developers.
This article gives a list of samples that show how to use the APIs of WinInet to do FTP. The samples are in C, C++, and Microsoft Visual Basic. This article does not have a complete list of all samples and all articles that show coding samples for FTP with the APIs for WinInet. However, the samples in this article and the articles that are in the "References" section give you a good understanding of how to do a variety of tasks by using the APIs of WinInet and how to add FTP functionality to your applications.
