fs.copyfile giving error

[Jacqui1811]

Hi,
I am trying to download a file from one server to another, using this code.
FS.copyfile "http:somedomain/somefolder/somemp3.mp3", "c:\dropbox\"
Both of the paths exist and if I put the correct source url into a web browser I can download just fine but I get the following error when running this code.
"Bad file name or number"
Can anybody help please ?
Thanks.
Jacqui.

I don't think you can use the File Scripting Object to copy from one server to another - the source and destination need to be within the same domain / network.

Thanks for replying VicVirk,
I was wondering then what can I use to automatically save a file programatically ?

In Classic ASP, you'll need some sort of an FTP component to copy files from a remote server to local - and even then you have to ensure the remote server has FTP access to that file and you have the credentials to access it.

Here's some links:

I use WS_FTP for this type of thing - it comes with a synchronize tool that can be run in command line mode to synchronize a remote server with a local server.

PHP and ASP.NET have built in FTP commands.
