Author getting a file from web site
Rafael Chemtob

2004-03-30, 1:30 pm

hi
I have a file which I need to get from a web site.
I'm using the filesystemobject. Does anyone have any code of how to pick up
a file from
http://www.myDomain.com/filename.xls.
I want to save the filename.xls file to my local machine via code.

Any ideas?

thanks

Won't the WinInet control do this?

I used this. Works great. Now how do I get a hold of that file and save it
on my file server?

You passed it a filename, right? That file should have been created with
the contents.

Either pass a filename including the path to the server or use a local file
and use the FileCopy statement to copy it to the server
