OLE Automation

OLE Automation is a Windows facility that permits data exchange between applications and automates tasks. When an object, such as an image file, is linked to a compound document, such as a spreadsheet, the document contains only a reference to the object. Any changes made to the contents of a linked object are seen in the compound document.

You can access and control Hummingbird FTP through OLE Automation. You can write OLE Automation clients using a variety of tools, such as Hummingbird Basic, Visual Basic, C++, and Java. The name of the automation object is HclFtp.Engine.

Note:

For more information about working with FTP OLE APIs, refer to the section “Customizing FTP OLE” in the FTP API Help. This help file is available only when you install the HostExplorer Development Kit, available through the Custom or Complete installation of your Hummingbird Connectivity product.
