Automated Program for getting downloadable files
-
I need to write a program that will navigate to a website, login, and download several files on a daily basis. I have no Idea :confused: where to begin on a project like this. If anybody has some code examples of how best to do this I would be very appreciative. I am not limited to VB.net for this project if someone fills another language would be better for the job please tell me. Thank You, Russell :)

This is great code for doing direct connections like to a SFTP or https site. But do you know of any examples that show how to make a mini web-bot that only goes to one site everyday and navigates through a manual user login then has to select the correct report button and then copies and saves the report to file. If the company That I need to get the reports from would give us some sort of FTP, or SFTP, or direct http/https URL to work with the first examples you gave would be great. Well in the mean time I will keep working with the examples you supplied and see if I can get something working. Thank you for the link to the examples and wish me luck I am going to need it.

You can use the System.Net.HttpWebRequest() and System.Net.HttpWebResponse() to do this. Do the login and navigate the web page with HttpWebRequest, then parse the HTML code (got by HttpWebResponse) and get the link for download file(s). Bye,
