Webcontrol and downlaoding files

[Peter van der veen]

Hi

I want to download files from a webserver.
Normally a user goes requsta file, files in the login information and
gets an "sava as' dialog.

I want to automate this. With the use of a webcontrol i can easily
fill in the login form and submit that to the server.
The webcontrol comes then with the save as dialog.

Is it possible with the webcontrol to discard this dialog box and
saves to a known location ?

Or is there another way to save the file??

Peter,

This is a very high order Security aspect.

You can only avoid that dialog by creating a by the user autorished plugin
that does this for you. This kind of plugin is not standard VBNet.

I hope this gives an idea,

Hi

I was al ready afraid about this yes.
Well in that case i need to let the users choose the right destination
and with a directory listener prosess the file when downloaded.
