How To Download Files?

Is there a way for a KiX script to download files off the internet? I've tried

Copy "http://...." "c:\"

but it didn't work.

Thanks!

there is but...
not with kix alone.

as it does not still have the tcp stuff I asked a good while ago.

with IE or ftp or other tool which does that normally on PC you can do it.

IE is more controllable with kix.

what kinda stuff you want determines what you should use.

as an example if ye want normal webpage, use IE.
if you want complex page and it's pure coding you would be using winhttp.
for non-html files ftp-tools are the best.

I use the utility wget.exe. It can be found here:

Thanks; maybe you can help me out though.

I downloaded the files off their FTP server, and I can't figure it out. Is WGet for Windows? Do you have to compile it?

How do you run it?

Thanks

Dear,

It same that WGET has relations with Unix, but we think also that BrianTX knows it must run by windows.
With kixtart it is possible to get files with FTP.
You only need to logon to that server as f.e. an
anonymous user.

Also we are very sure that there will be also a COM solution for you.
Please look at COM forum.
