Hi Guys,
This is my FIRST post and first venture into DOS(!)
I've been writing small reporting applications in MS Access and need a script to copy a file from one location to another.
Is it possible to copy from an internal webserver using DOS commands?
Thanks in advance
SteveWelcome.

I can't THINK of an EASY to download a file over HTTP using only native commands, but you can download WGET.EXE (http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/) and it should do exactly what you want. To copy a file named "file.txt" on internal WEB server named "webserver" to your current directory, just do:
Code: [Select]wget http://webserver/file.txtor to copy to a new location, use:
Code: [Select]wget -O C:\New\Path\file.txt http://webserver/file.txtyou can use this VBSCRIPT if you can't use other tools
Code: [Select]URL = "http://www.google.com"
set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set http = CreateObject("Microsoft.XmlHttp")
http.open "GET", URL, FALSE
http.send ""
WScript.Echo http.responseText
set WshShell = nothing
set http = nothing
usage:
Code: [Select]c:\> cscript /nologo myscript.vbs > outfile
