I'm not sure if I got you right, but something like this will launch the page in your default browser:

ShellExecute(NULL, NULL, "http://localhost:8080/sample/Upload\_Files/sam.txt", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

Note that you don't need MFC for this - see ShellExecute[^] at MSDN.

[Stuart Dootson]

This might/ought to work (this page[^] supports my supposition) ::ShellExecute(0, _T("open"), _T("http://localhost:8080/sample/Upload_Files/sam.txt"), 0, 0, 0);

You can launch the IE/Mozilla application through CreateProcess() or ShellExecute() by passing your file path as parameter. The IE/Mozilla will open it for you.

Is it mandatory to download the file that way...

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

Do you need to CInternetFile class?

[L Madhavan]

Maybe the CInternetSession[^] class will help you. The OpenURL function of this class opens any Internet file and returns a CStdioFile object, which you can use as a normal file object. If you want to save the file, simply read from this file and write into another file.

Have a look at URLDownloadToFile()[^]. Well, check out this article too - Using Internet Explorer to download files for you[^]. Regards, Jijo.
