The kftp component is an activex component is a simple interface to FTP from your ASP, VB, or VBSCRIPT program. We use this component extensively for automating ftp data transfers on a scheduled basis, although you might find other uses like batch uploading your developement pages, or 'crawling' ftp sites. The command set is limited because we simply don't need to execute every function via automation - only the most important ones.
