File Transfer Components Last Updated: 5 Sep 2011
Magenta Systems File Transfer Components comprise three Delphi
components, TMagFtp, TMagHttp and TMagFileCopy, the first two of which are high level descendants of the ICS TFtpClient and
THttpCli components, all allowing transfer of multiple files and subdirectories with a single function call.
The three components handle file listing from FTP, HTTP and disk volumes, and multiple file copying. They also include optional
zipping or unzipping (requires TVCLZip component). There are numerous options available, including copying only newer files,
deleting old target files, deletion after transfer, resumed failed FTP downloads and uploads, and a progress events with various
levels of information for logging or display, depending upon application requirements that allows transfers to be cancelled. FTP
and file copying supports files larger than 2 gigs (64-bit).
Delphi TMagRas Component Last Updated: 5 Sep 2011
TMagRas is a set of installable Delphi non-visual components supplied with several demo and example programs and a help file, for accessing Dial Up Networking or Remote Access Services functions. It allows Delphi developers to add full RAS functionality to their applications, including dialling and monitoring multiple connections, creating and editing phonebooks (without using Windows dialogs), and getting performance information for connections. TMagRas supports Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008 and 7, allowing an application to support all the various RAS extensions in NT and later, including sub entries for multi- channel ISDN connections. Performance statistics are returned separately for each connection in NT4 and each channel in W2K. Incoming calls to NT4 RAS Server may be monitored. .MagRas 6.00 and later fully support Unicode with Delphi 2009, 2010 and XE.

Code Signing Trust and Certificate Check component Last Updated: 5 Sep 2011
The Code Signing Trust and Certificate Check component functions are designed for Code Signing, aka Microsoft Authenticode, and specifically to check that programs are signed and not corrupted.
Check Disk and Format Disk Component Last Updated: 8 Nov 2011
The Check Disk and Format Disk component is a Delphi wrapper around the Windows APIs exported by fmifs.dll, which are used to format fixed or removable disk drives and perform disk checks on Windows NT4 and later. It supports any local disk drive that has been assigned a drive letter by Windows, just like the normal format and check disk tools in Windows.
WMI and SMART Component Last Updated: 5 Sep 2011
Magenta Systems WMI and SMART Component contains WMI, SMART and SCSI PassThrough functions, of particular use for getting hard disk information and
configuring network adaptors, but also for many other general uses.
MagWMI which allows access and update of windows system information using
Windows Management Instrumentation. MagWMI provides general view access
to any WMI information using SQL like commands, and also a number of
dedicated function relating to TCP/IP configuration, such as setting the
adaptor IP addresses, and the computer name and domain/workgroup. There
are also some examples for getting BIOS and disk drive information using
WMI, and also a method using SMART for getting disk information since WMI
has limitations on Windows 2000. SMART also returns disk failing or fault
information. For disks that don't support SMART, SCSI Pass Through is
used to get the drive serial number.
Windows XPE Enhanced Write Filter header conversion Last Updated: 5 Sep 2011
The Windows XP Embedded Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) is used to protect one or more disk volumes by intercepting write requests to the volume and redirecting it to an overlay volume, either RAM or another disk. Note the EWF header conversion is only useful on Windows XP Embedded with the Enhanced Write Filter DLL installed. It is not available on Windows XP Pro, or other operating systems.
Internet Protocol Helper Component Last Updated: 5 Sep 2011
Magenta Systems Internet Protocol Helper Component is a set of functions implementing the the Internet Protocol Helper (IP Helper) APIs. They enable the retrieval and modification of network configuration settings for the local computer. The component loads all functions dynamically so applications will still run on earlier Windows versions that did not support certain IP Helper functions. The component returns the various parameters returned by the APIs as Delphi records, for ease of integration into applications.
Internet Packet Monitoring Components Last Updated: 5 Sep 2011
Magenta Systems Internet Packet Monitoring Components are a set of Delphi components designed to capture and monitor internet packets using either raw sockets or the WinPcap device driver. Hardware permitting, ethernet packets may be captured and interpreted, and statistics maintained about the traffic. Uses of packet monitoring include totalling internet traffic by IP address and service, monitoring external or internal IP addresses and services accessed, network diagnostics, and many other applications. The component includes two demonstration applications, one that displays raw packets, the other that totals internet traffic. The components include various filters to reduce the number of packets that need to be processed, by allowing specific IP addresses to be ignored, LAN mask to ignore local traffic, and ignore non-IP traffic such as ARP.
Delphi Registry and Initialisation Variables Code Generator Last Updated: 2 Sep 2010
Delphvar is a Pascal code generator for the Delphi programming language, designed to assist in the saving and restoring of component properties to and from both the registry and INI files.
TDESCrypt component Last Updated: 5 Sep 2011
TDESCrypt component for Delphi 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, XE and XE2, created by Herzog Samuel, that encrypts a given input string by using DES. The code has been translated from crypt.c (Unix GNU Library). The component allows user names and passwords to be encoded into a format suitable for use with UNIX systems, in particular for the Apache web server running on UNIX to restrict access to your web site to authorised users. This allows new users to be added to the .htpasswd file locally on the PC, without needing to run a script while online to encode the passwords.
