Is there a standard syntax?

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 (...)
