[Help] What DOS cmd to use in batch file to download file from website

[ceez]

Hello there fellow MSFN'ers!?!?

Hope all is well...

I am trying to automate the download of our spam filter software updates. These are simple text files located on a webpage

http://turbogeeks.com/downloads/lists/

the 3 files are:

domainblacklist.txt

ipblacklist.txt

subject.txt

of course, the full path is:

http://turbogeeks.com/downloads/lists/domainblacklist.txt

http://turbogeeks.com/downloads/lists/ipblacklist.txt

http://turbogeeks.com/downloads/lists/subject.txt

the only command I tried was the copy command since it's the only one that sounds reasonable (in a weird way)

copy "http://turbogeeks.com/downloads/lists/domainblacklist.txt" c:\update

and of course this is my output:

http://turbogeeks.com/downloads/lists/domainblacklist.txt

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

0 file(s) copied.

How can I accomplish this? Is this possible?

Thanks for your help,

ceez

Use WGet.

Try this

@Echo Off && CLS && Color f3 && Mode 65, 7 && Title Open A URL

start iexplore.exe Http://www.msfn.org
