OK I am a newb about this. I can write a DOS script file to download a file using FTP from an FTP site. Same with a component in Delpi. However, how you can download a file from an HTTP site in code instead (or DOS if possible)? If you just call the link from the command prompt you get a IE window and the save dialog. I want to bypass all that and download directly to a folder on my Hard Drive. Then I can process a large list of files automatically see. Is this possible in Blitz Plus? If not, is it possible in HTML or Javascript or Delphi or C++? Surely it is, but I need the easiest and quickest way really! Many thanks in advance dudes! Jake
