Copying an image with a URL path to my server

[gi11iesm]

I have searched for somehow to do this, but can not find any results, I am wondering if anyone can help me with this small problem ... Using VB.NET I am trying to make a script that will copy an image from any given web site to a folder on my server.

For example, if there is an image that has a URL of say:

http://www.anywebsite.com/images/theimage.jpg

Taking the URL of that image and assigning it to a String ... how to I take the URL in the string and make a copy of the image saving it to a folder on my server?

If anyone has any suggestions of help, or where to look for help, it would be great.

create a web request using the url.
get the stream.
load the stream into an Image object (you may need to convert the stream to a byte array)
save the Image object to file.

there are example of how to do this on the web. google create 1. HttpWebRequest
2. Loading/Saving Image from stream.
