Any other thoughts here? how about Expect and cadaver? I'm assuming you're trying to get these files onto a *nix box. cadaver is a command line webdav client that can handle https. If the windows2003 server can make that directory where the files live webdav accessible, you should be able to pull them down manually with cadaver. Once that works, just automate the process with Expect. (Expect is a scripting language used for automating interactive processes like telnet, ftp, and a host of other things) > -----Original Message----- > On Fri, 22 Oct 2004 18:50:20 -0500, John Sanborn <jsanborn at earthlink.net> > wrote: > > > > Anyone have an idea where to find (or find out how to write) a script > > that will save a URL to text file?
