Introduction

Most functionality should work. One notable exception is certificate verification used by FTP/SSL. Certificate API was not available to Windows Store Apps on Windows 8.0 and the components still reflect this. Although a certificate API was added in Windows 8.1, this is not yet utilized by this experimental version. As a workaround, implement a custom certificate handler using Ftp object's ValidatingCertificate event if you wish to use FTP over SSL in a secure manner.
