Downloading

[AAP]

Does anyone know of a command line utility or SDK to allow downloading from the internet from within a windows aplication?

What I want is do it be able to automatically download a certain spreadsheet from a known address on our intranet from within an application. I don't want to have to load explorer,or force users to do the job manually.

Thanks guys

What about FtpOpenFile, InternetOpenURL, InternetReadFile and similar functions from WININET.DLL?

They work most of the time .

Beware:

Wininet is very buggy, and very tricky if you don't want it to freeze your program while it downloads. My recommendation is that you put all Wininet code in a separate thread--or even better, a child process, if that's possible.
