Copying a file from another server

[Lysander]

Hi,
ASP is not my strongest subject. I am sure this must be easy-peasy to do but I can't get anywhere.

I have my own IIS server, running an ASP application.

I need to copy several files from somewhere on the web to my local server, where I can then process them. I know I am allowed to do this, as the web site concerened just says autocopy scripts must not be run more than once per hour.
This is one of the files I need to copy.

"http://en6.tribalwars. net/map/village.txt"

The best I could come up with was
[code=asp]
<%option explicit
dim fso
Set fso = CreateObject("S cripting.FileSy stemObject")
'rename live database
fso.CopyFile "http://en6.tribalwars. net/map/village.txt","C :\t.txt"
set fso=nothing
%>
[/code]
But it dont want to know..

I can go to the site and download the files from there, but there are dozens of them, and I want to do this on a daily basis.

Any hints please.

I don't know if you can pass copyfile a url try using a path

check this

Nope, you can't. I get the error
'Bad file name or number'

There must be an easy way to do this, I mean, thats what every browser does when you type in a url

Found a solution on another site. This works. Now I just need to work out how to unzip it in code. (This is not the actual file I am after)

[code=vb]
<%

Response.Buffer = True
Dim objXMLHTTP, xml
Set xml = Server.CreateOb ject("Microsoft .XMLHTTP")

xml.Open "GET", _
"http://www.4guysfromro lla.com/webtech/code/mitchell-pres.zip", _
False

xml.Send

set oStream = createobject("A dodb.Stream")
Const adTypeBinary = 1
Const adSaveCreateOve rWrite = 2
Const adSaveCreateNot Exist = 1
oStream.type = adTypeBinary
oStream.open
oStream.write xml.responseBod y
oStream.savetof ile "C:\" & "Test.zip", adSaveCreateOve rWrite

oStream.close

set oStream = nothing

Set xml = Nothing
