I am running Microsoft XP Pro and I am making a Batch program. I wanted to know if it was possible to get it to download a specific file from the internet.  \nSay the file location on the internet is:\n"http://MyLink/myfile.txt"\nWhat would my code in the batch file be?

Not natively within DOS... but with a MS resource you can.\n\nSee here ( http://www.windowsitpro.com/Web/Article/ArticleID/16048/16048.html  ) for more info - but the gist is that httpcmd.exe allows you to pipe HTML GET requests and use the output - which should let you download and save files if used correctly.\n\nHope that helps!

Unforutnatly it doesn't work like that.\n\nIf you have a dial-up connection, then even if the file is sent to you, it still has to come down a small connection. You may experience the same issue.\n\nThe best thing you can do is ask a friend with BB to download it and burn it to a CD for you.\n\nHope this helps!\nS.

do you meant the shortcut on the desktop?\nyou simply go to the program folders and create another shortcut to check it out\n\nit doesnt work \nbut the programs will work if you start it using the exe files of the program\nthen\ncheck out the location of the main program exe file\nopen notepad\ntype the location of the main program exe file within double quotes\nand now save it as a file with the extension of .cmd on the desktop(note: when you save, make sure all files is selected in the save as type drop down box)\nnow try it does it work?

Type TRACERT address  at the DOS prompt.  I have XP here and it works fine.\n\nPS- Anybody that might run TRACERT needs to have a shortcut on the desktop to CMD.

The URL is just the file location, but if the program can't scan the computer for files on its own, then it's not worth using.\n\nTry using Media Monkey. It's free and comes with tons of features. You can find it at download.com

Very simply, if you're using Windows XP you no longer need a seperate ftp program.\n\nOpen any folder and type the ftp details into the address bar in a similar format to this:\n\nftp:// yourusername:yourpassword @ yourwebserverdetails.com\n\n(remove the spaces though!)\n\nYou will now be able to drag and drop from the server as if it was any other folder on your machine!\n\nAnd if you want to save the details so that you don't have to keep retyping them in every time...go to "My Network Places" and "create a network place"...then just enter all of the details for each site.  Simple as that.  When you want to ftp, just go to "My Network Places" and click on the appropriate link to take you directly to the server folder.\n\ngreat eh?!

not in a batch file but you can use basic to do it. You should be able to find BASIC on your xP  CD

yep but u have to backdoor it...\n\ngo to view --> source\n\npress ctrl+f\n\ntype in "mp3" in the find box\n\ncopy the link (should be inside " ")\n\ngo to google and paste the link and press search\n\nright click -> save as\n\n\n\n....\n\nor you can look at temp internet files, but that also depends on how big the folder is and if there are many big files near it. (makes it harder to find)

If the file you downloaded is in the .ZIP format then winXP should handle it. However if you would like to get a free program that opens and creates ZIP files then you can get it from the link below. Good luck!

This file will not be available on your PC. Once it has been blocked, thats it, gone. I tend to rename the file as .txt to get round it. It really is a pain in the a&*^

Normally we call that a web browser. But is it that you were looking for? I guess not. Most probably you are looking for a program like wget. A windows implementation is available here:\nhttp://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/

This program almost certainly will not work at all on XP.  You could try, after installing, right clicking on the .exe file, the one that initiates the program, and choosing Properties, Compatibility, checking Run this Program....and choosing Windows 95.  But in my experience, this only sometimes works.\n\nIt should not however slow your computer or harm it, if it even in fact installs.  And you can always uninstall it.  My advice, if you are going to install it, is to set a Restore Point in System Restore just before you install it, so that you can easily return to your previous state if things don't work out.\n\nBut also, I would advise you to find a different program that does the stuff that you want this old program to do, even if the more modern program does more than you want.....

if you want a web browser within a terminal use lynx or elinks programms. if you want to only download files use the powrful tool wget which enables you to retrieve files and stop/resume you downloads with the option '-c ' e.g., 'wget -c http://somesite.org/somefile'

Most programs have an import and export feature that you can select in the Archive menu. If you want to open any file from another program choose import, then browser opens and lets you browse find the file and import\n\nOr go to other program and ask export and when it asks where, type where you want it to go...*.exe \n\nOr\n\nOpen choose from program tool bar the insert/add menu then select insert archive, browser opens, find your file and select it the OK the operation and it will open within the other program. Once in other program you can click it and change the size and other parameters.\n\nIt might be read only, choose properties open >general deselect read only and choose archive >apply>OK\n\nOpen the machines explorer and use open with and choose right program\n\nMaybe you need to install some text converter or graphic conversion filters or plug ins, they can be downloaded from many free sites in the Internet, and install them. It helps to now what is A and what is B to provide more accurate answers. If you know write:\n the name of A +the name of B +converters +filters +download +free\nin the search of your intenet browser and it will show you some free sites\n\nBest regards\nSan2

If you know anything about writing scripts, you can write a batch file that will pull and execute all of the updates and reboot at the end.  You can probably even do a google search and find one someone else has written and just change the file tags.

As per my knowledge there is no such folder callled Profiles in Windows XP. Can you tell the location of this folder? It could be possible that this Profiles folder belongs to some software instead.\n\n\nCheers,\nManish
