download multiple files using wildcards with WebClient.Downl oadFile()

Individual file download works fine. But when I try to download multiple
files, for example using wildcards in the following code, I get error. How
to solve it?

System.Net.WebC lient Client = new System.Net.WebC lient();
Client.Download File("ftp://123.123.456.0/*.RPT",
@"C:\downloaded Files\*.RPT");

Are there other possibilities??

Hi, I'm using webclient to enable download of files. However, files get copied to the server rather than the client machine. What could be the problem. Here is the sample that I've used: WebClient myWebClient = new WebClient(); myWebClient.DownloadFile ("http://www.myweb.com/testfile.txt" ,"c:/test.txt");

We have a requirement to put a client onto machines intended for some telephony work. The database access will be via ASP.Net pages, and that's fine, but the telephony stuff requires access to some legacy servers. I've prototyped the client itself as Winforms/C# (which was NOT fun for a C++ curmudgeon like me, but I'll live). The problem is, I'd like to be able to ensure that the user is always running the latest client (our current fat...

Automatically download and save pdf files from a website. Is there a way to do this? I would like to automate a daily procedure for downloading and saving a couple of dozen pdf from several websites. Currently I have saved bookmarks in a browser and manually open and save each one. Some of the files have direct addresses, for example: https://www.somewebsite.com/resources/documents/daily_price_sheet.pdf

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
