Hi,

I have following scenario. Once time in the week we have to download the mcafee superdat file. Now i am looking for a script which downloads it from a http page. I looked for a ftp site but i had no luck.

Another problem is, that we are using a proxy with autentification.

Hope u can held me

cu later

have you tried calling ftp.exe using a batch script?

sorry, i am not sure what u mean.

i want to download something from a http site and not from a ftp.

and as second difficulty there also a proxy server which needs an authentification :/

If you could use ftp, the files are located at:

ftp.nai.com/commonupdater/

Note /commonupdater/ is a hidden folder. This is the site Enterprise 7 and 8 are defaulted to for their updates.

create 2 files

1st file call it ftp.txt

user anonymous
helpdesk@microsoft.com
prompt off
binary
cd /pub/antivirus/datfiles/4.x
mget sdat*.exe
bye

2nd file call it get superdat.bat

@echo off
title getting superdat file
ftp -n -s:ftp.txt ftp.nai.com

then you can schedule the superdat.bat to download superdats every day!

i zipped up the code...

getsuperdats.zip
