Downloading Zip File From Website?
Jun 16, 2009
I am trying to download a zip file(which contains 4 text files) from a secure website and getting html page in return. If I do it manually I get the zip file. I am using visual basic express. I am very new to .net programing. why I am getting html page instead of the zip file. The manual process is to login, click ebill tab and select the month from list and click download button, which then open up the save dialog box with the zip file name.

I am trying to creating a windows application that can automatically sign into a website and download a file. I have managed to get it to sign in and reach the file, however a windows pop up box appears asking if you want to open or save the file and then specify a location. How can I automate this part?
Basically I want to schedule this to run each morning and download the file without any manual intervention.

I'm downloading a file from my website using WebClient.DownloadFile(),I'm wanting to do it asynchronously, so my UI stays responsive, that would require me creating an array of web clients, is that bad practice? Or is it acceptable?I have looked into FileWebRequest, but thought WebClient looked easier to implement.

I am trying to download a file off my web server (easy) but the file its downloading is the updated version of the file running. I finally was able to program my automatic update software the program simply downloads a .txt file from my web server, reads it, and if the the version = (new version here) then download. If not, then go to another form. The problem I am getting though, is when the version is outdated, the file will go to download the new .exe and it gets and error saying "File already exists"

I've got a code in VB that will download a txt file from a website. The problem is I want this file to be downloaded into whatever folder that my program is in. for example, if my program was in C:
andom_folder then I would want this txt file downloaded to C:
andom_folder
Here is some of my
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile _
("http://www.mywebsite.com/test.txt", _
"define where file should go here")
But in the spot to put where to place the file, I can't just put C:andom_folder because individual users may have this program installed in other parts of there computer.

I'm trying to save this picture from a website automatically, but the problem is there is no file extension. I tried the following code, but it always gives me an error:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("http://www.hackthissite.org/missions/prog/2/PNG/", "C:PNG.bmp")
End Sub
Error: An exception occurred during a WebClient request.
P.S - I believe the reason it doesn't have an extension is because the picture changes each time the url is loaded (probably through a php code). I'm not too sure on the specifics, but the lack of an extension is what I am having problems with.

VS 2008 SP1 I am using the web client to download a file. Which works ok.However, now I have to download many and the number of files to download will change everyday.I am not sure how I can get the web client to know which files have been downloaded or not? I was thinking of using a for loop to download each file. But I will never know how many there are to download?The web client could download the same file twice?
Private Sub btnStartDownload_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim client As New WebClient()
AddHandler client.DownloadProgressChanged, AddressOf client_DownloadProgressChanged
AddHandler client.DownloadFileCompleted, AddressOf client_DownloadFileCompleted

Having problems with this downloader. Its a single file downloader (the file location is in the code) and it only downloads the file as 0kb (it debugs fine). Also, i think my directory finder is not working, as i did it the simple way, because i dont know the environment code. (please note i have changed the website link, but the actual link works fine )
