Hi All:
I know next to zilch about programming, even in DOS, so this question is asked
in ignorance and good faith.
If I'm writing a .bat program to copy a file from a known, static location on
the web, is there a standard format by which the hyperlink is referenced?
Specifically, if I'm copying the file c:\doofus\dolt.txt, I know how to refer to
it, but if it's http://www.dolt.com/doofus/dolt.txt, I don't know how to point
the .bat file to the location.
Any help is appreciated. Alas, I need to write this as a DOS-friendly .bat
because that's the job as its been handed to me.
Don't ask how I got this assignment...
Thanks!
Dave!

| (...) Dave, I'm pretty sure you can't do it without an external program. If you have FTP access to the file, you can use the command-line ftp program included with most msdos versions, otherwise you will need a non-dos program, I would recommend GNU (...)
