    HELP! I need a utility to download a file on schedual??

    I desperately need a small windows util that can download a text file or whatever and store it on the local machine automatically. It can be a command line util or an actual scheduled program or something..

    Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

                  Of course I did.. Everything I find is too complex.. I need a simple util.

                      Use the default ftp client on windows along with the standard windows task scheduler.

                      To figure out what command line you'll need, fire up your DOS window and type "ftp --help"

                      If ya wanna get oldschool, use zmodem instead of ftp. Would have the benefit of resuming interrupted downloads from where you left off, among others.

                      Or if you really wanna get oldschool, use Fidonet filerequests. BinkleyTerm can fire 'em off whenever you want.

                      But prolly the first suggestion is more what you're looking for.
