Hi,

I got this so far from the net, it manages to output the file on the server but it does not run the url it just saves a damaged file.
I can run the url on the server (IE7) and save on server no problem.
I think the script is trying to create the file & not run the url then save as file.

 

Call HTTPDownload ("http://srv99-za178/departments/mkt/Factsheets/Buttermilk.pdf", "E:\upload.pdf") 

Sub HTTPDownload( myURL, myPath ) 

Dim i, objFile, objFSO, objHTTP, strFile, strMsg

Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8 

' Create a File System Object 

Set objFSO = CreateObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" ) 

' Check if the specified target file or folder exists,

 ' and build the fully qualified path of the target file 

If objFSO.FolderExists( myPath ) Then 

  strFile = objFSO.BuildPath( myPath, Mid( myURL, InStrRev( myURL, "/" ) + 1 ) )

 ElseIf objFSO.FolderExists( Left( myPath, InStrRev( myPath, "" ) - 1 ) ) Then 

strFile = myPath Else WScript.Echo "ERROR: Target folder not found." 

Exit Sub 

End If

 ' Create or open the target file 

Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile( strFile, ForWriting, True )

 ' Create an HTTP object 

Set objHTTP = CreateObject( "WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1" )

 ' Download the specified URL 

objHTTP.Open "GET", myURL, False 

objHTTP.Send

 ' Write the downloaded byte stream to the target file 

For i = 1 To LenB( objHTTP.ResponseBody ) 

objFile.Write Chr( AscB( MidB( objHTTP.ResponseBody, i, 1 ) ) ) 

Next

 ' Close the target file 

objFile.Close( ) 

End Sub 

I open the file it creates in notepad
