    Downloading files from internet

    Hi,

    Can I download a file automatically from internet, Just type the internet
    adress in a textbox and in another textbox the pad where it will be saved
    and then push a button so the downloaded file is automatically saved on the
    computer ?

    Sorry for my bad English

    Greets John

      John,
      I have a program called "The Grabber" that does
      exactly that. Send me an e-mail, and I can shoot off
      a copy of the source code to you.

        Thank for responding Randy,

        But the problem is that you download and save the whole page, I just want to
        download files that are on a particaler site.
        for instatence "a zip file that contains a vb6 example"

          Then just specify the file of interest. As long as its a valid destination
          whatever you pass will be downloaded to the local machine. My demo just
          downloaded a page rather than a zip or mpeg or whatever because that was a
          file that was easy to show on the form to indicate success. Try downloading
          http://vbnet.mvps.org/files/tools/sharedll.zip - a 28k zip that might be
          also turn out to be useful. There are others of different sizes at
          http://vbnet.mvps.org/dev/updates/tools.htm you can also try.
