    An FTP library for C++

    Does the standard library include functions for making an FTP client application?
    If not, could you recommend a good C++ ftp library that has basic FTP client functions?

    libcurl. It's not FTP specific, but VERY reliable, it's in use by everyone from amateurs, to Apple

    if you need advance functionality then look up wxWidgest classes or nokiaQT

    Re: An FTP library for C++

    libcurl is too complex for me...
    I tried this http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/ftpclientclass.aspx
    but it generates the next error whenever I instantiate an object from its namespace:
    |undefined reference to `nsFTP::CLogonInfo::CLogonInfo(std::string const&, unsigned short, std::string const&, std::string const&, std::string const&)'|
    the code:
    Code:
    nsFTP::CLogonInfo logonInfo("localhost", 21, "anonymous",
                                              "anonymous@user.com");

    you are getting a linking error , if it is visual studio you are using then make sure that you are linking appropriate libs ,

    #pragma commet(libs ,"libcurl.lib")

    the error I get is when I use this library: www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/ftpclientclass.aspx
    and not libcurl.

    most of the code project example use MFC , so Either you know how to program in MFC and be able to resolve linking issues , it is a very wide topic to cover here , post your question in the MFC section AKA visual studio.
