SocketTools 6.0

Internet Components and Libraries for Developers

SocketTools is a suite of Internet components and libraries for developers using the Windows operating system. Using SocketTools, you can easily integrate Internet functionality into your applications, such as uploading and downloading files, sending email, exchanging information with web servers and remote system management.

SocketTools Secure Editions

If you need to establish secure, encrypted connections then you'll want to use the Secure Editions. The Secure Editions include components and/or libraries which support the standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols, including full support for 128-bit encryption and client certificates. Using the Secure Editions, you can establish secure connections with web sites, file servers and email servers by simply setting a few options. Unlike some other toolkits, it's not necessary that you understand how to use Microsoft's CryptoAPI or redistribute third-party libraries which can require runtime licensing and have complicated export restrictions. The SocketTools Secure Editions make it extremely easy to implement the security features that your customers demand in today's business environment.

SocketTools Standard Editions

On the other hand, if you only need to establish standard connections, then the Standard Editions include all of the components and/or libraries in the Secure Edition, without the security features. Using SocketTools, you can upload and download files, access websites, send and retrieve email messages, manage mailboxes on a mail server, execute commands on a remote server and much, much more. Also included with SocketTools is our extremely popular SocketWrench toolkit, which can be used to easily create a wide variety of client and server applications. Using SocketTools, not only can you easily access a wide variety of Internet services, you can implement virtually any protocol or even create a custom protocol that's specific to your requirements.
