Hi,
What i'am trying to do is grab a remote xml file every few minutes and copy it to
a local drive (Example: Go to http://IPAddress/filename.xml and copy it a local file called filename.xml)

I've done it using simple PHP

<?php

echo copy("http://IPAddress/filename.xml","filename.xml")

?>

The issue is when it is iniated with the PHP command line the svchost runs (i get the the ms-dos prompt and it looks messy. The same goes for bat files.

Does anyone know how to do this with vb or another lanuage (or product) that can be ran in the background

thanks
matt
 
I tried to run it on Server 2003 and for some reason it wouldn't run. Any more suggestions?


Thanks
Matt
 
It works great on Server 2003!

I don't have any other suggestions (well, you could write your own app I suppose? .NET webrequest client or a Python/Perl script maybe?)

But I'd be more than happy to help you figure out what's going on!

Start by posting the error you receive. (make sure you're running it from the command line, not double clicking wget.exe)
