Title: Grab Network File
Post by: RedXVII on November 02, 2006, 10:03:19 PM
Short and sweet.
1) I dont suppose theres an easy way to copy a file from the network. Will "CopyFile" work?

2) How about from http and ftp?


Cheers all  :U

If the location is mapped to a drive, yeah, you can use copyfile.
If it's not, you can map it yourself.

As for ftp, look at some APIs exported by wininet, the're quite useful.

Take a look at URLDownloadToFile (http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/networking/moniker/reference/functions/urldownloadtofile.asp) for grabbing a file off of the Internet. I have used it, and it works.

RedXVII,
Attached is a console app that uses URLDownloadToFile (http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/networking/moniker/reference/functions/urldownloadtofile.asp) as Greg suggested. This example was originally posted by Hutch, I think.

RedXVII,

Were you referring to the Internet or LAN files?

CopyFile works for both standard DOS notation and UNC for copying files.
Code Select
szSource         db "\\MORK\AC_Temps\Install\AC_Temps.exe",0

Regards,  P1  :8)

PS:  We have servers named Moe, Larry, Curly, Shemp, Ricky, Lucy.  Mork, but did not do Mindy, yet.

P1,
That's nice to know, about CopyFile working with UNC paths.  :U
