I can already download one file at a time (as long as i know the file name) from my web server using :[code]But I want to be able to simply download everything in the url... is there any simple method for doing this in visual studio 2008 vb

I have a straight-forward task I'm attempting to accomplish. I have the mechanics down, and need to hammer out the details but I'm stumbling across one small point. :)
This script is supposed to take the files in the local C:Temp directory, and copy them to a selected user's shared directory on the file server.
Protected Sub btnCopy_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles btnCopy.Click
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory("C:Temp", "\MAVERICKVOL1Users" & ddlName.SelectedValue & "DESKTOPRECORDINGS", True)
End Sub
This script does indeed work (and I'm aware I need to create exception handling) but it only copies what contents are on the server's directory of C:Temp rather than the local source directory.
I'm using VB.NET/ASP.NET to achieve this.
How am I able to direct my function to use the local user's directory rather than the remote server?
I have been looking for a method to download a file that is created by a .Net web site ( 3rd party so I can't control the download method ) and sent through the browser via response.writefile. The file is generated by the web page and then forced to the browser so I have to "walk" web site.
Browser Automation: I have tried to use AutoIT to automate the browser ( both IE and Firefox ) but ran into issues with each one. IE won't let me disable the download manager so I get popups and the Firefox component won't walk the DOM correctly to find the unnamed elements I need to access.
Web Browser Components: I also tried the GeckoFX component for VB.net but when you click the button it does not download the file. The WebBrowser control will download the file but still has all the popups that keep me from doing it with an unattended program.

The web site requires authorizaion and I can't get that to work either. I was able to login to Facebook with a userID and password but this site has not been co-operating.

Imagine i hade a .txt here: site.com/file.txt And my program should download that text file when i click a button. How would i save it to the path of the program/ to c:/? Like: c:/File/file.txt
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to read the contents of a text file. Everyone says it's a piece of cake, but I still get error "404 Not Found" even though the site exists.
I'm using the following:
Dim myRequest As HttpWebRequest
Dim myResponse As HttpWebResponse
myRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create("[URL]") 'This does work
myRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create("[URL]") 'This does not
myRequest.Proxy = New WebProxy("http://proxy address", True)
myRequest.Method = "GET"
myResponse = DirectCast(myRequest.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
When I hit the [URL] the myRequest.GetResponse command passes the contents of the site into myResponse. However, hitting the [URL] always returns 404 even though it exists.
It's been ages since I've done any coding (not that this is much excuse for my stupidity!). What I want to do is to be able to loop through a directory and list, for instance, all of the txt files in there.I can get the length of the files with the following:
For Each zFile In System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("c:fileloop", "*.txt", IO.SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly)
MsgBox(zFile.Length)
Next
But I'm stuck on actually returning the file name.

How do I get these values so I can incorportate them in a string? And then loop through each value.
It will need to start with the first date an download that file, then loop through all the dates downloading each file until it has reached the end date. I already have the code written to extract the info i need from the document and import into a sql server, my only issue is the date range string issue

I am new to Visual Basic. I have Visual Basic 2010 Express. I am planning to make a program that can download files from a website to put on an SD Card to Soft Mod, or hack it. I want it so that the user clicks on a radio button based on what System Menu their Wii is running on. There is currently, System Menu 4.0 or less, System Menu 4.2, and System Menu 4.3.
They also have to choose a region from a List Box. The current options are:
Region U (Americas)
Region K (Korean)
Region J (Japanesse)
Region E (European)
I also want it so that the user can choose where to download the installation files for the Wii soft Mod.
I want to have a button that when the user clicks on it, a pop up asks them where they want to download the files to appear, once they choose a location, i want it to download a file based on what they chose and i also want it so that it tells them what to do with the files and where to put them.
I am trying to access my website and display the .mp3 files in a certain directory. Through this, i want to have windows media player play the selected file. Either through list box, or combo box.
