SDK License Key Required?

Hi,

Just download the SDK which, I assume, is free in my case since I will not re-distribute.

Have written a perl script, based on this: https://www.smartftp.com/ftplib/samples/ ... Connect.pl.

This fails with a return code 17 since (I think) it requires a valid license key, which I don't have because I did not purchase a license.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Hello ...

The FTP Library is not free. What are you planning to use the script for?

I would like to automate the nightly uploads to my website. What's the difference between the "SDK" and the "FTP Library"?

Thanks,
Mike

Hello ...

You can read more information about the FTP Library at:
https://www.smartftp.com/ftplib

If you only use it to automate the uploads to your website a license for the Professional Edition is enough.

Hi Mat,

Just to be sure, the Pro license for SmartFTP Client will allow me to use the FTP Library, right?

Thanks!

Hello ..

Please take a look at the SDK:

You can use the FTP Library indirectly. It means you have to create the FTPConnection object through the SmartFTP.exe. This is described in the samples you can find in the SDK above. The answer to your question is yes.
