bitsadmin.exe /transfer integrated into au3 script

[Kajoe]

I want to try to put a cmd line into autoit, but can't find the way to do it.

When I put the below line (Fill in Name and Site original Name I want and Site where to download from)  in a .cmd file and execute the .cmd in Autoit, than it downloads and renames the file perfectly. But I would like to put this line into au3 script and not in a cmd file. Is that possible? Can someone he

@echo off

bitsadmin.exe /transfer "Name" https://www.Site C:\downloads\setup.exe

Exit

I tried the below line, but it does not work:

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c bitsadmin /transfer https://www.Site", "C:\downloads\setup.exe", @SW_Hide)

 

Best regards, Kajoe

It is probably a question of quotes not properly converted from AutoIt to the command line.  Use a consoleWrite before to test it.

Local $sCmd = 'something "something" something'
ConsoleWrite($sCmd & @CRLF)
RunWait($sCmd,...)

You can then see and copy the result of the console to test if it is still working with a command line statement.

ps.  Your RunWait is also highly suspicious.  Make sure you understand how to use it (see help file).  Your second parameter is certainly wrong.

BTW there is a BITS UDF somewhere in the forum.  I know because I helped actively to facilitate the creation of it...

You RunWait() is "totally" different from the batch command:
 

bitsadmin.exe /transfer "Name" https://www.Site C:\downloads\setup.exe
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c bitsadmin /transfer https://www.Site"                                  , "C:\downloads\setup.exe", @SW_Hide)

I was not at home today. So I could answer earlier. I am going to give it a try.  So I have to write the CMD line exactly into Local $sCmd?

That doesn't make any sense to me...   you need to run the exact same command but wrap it in a RunWait()  command.

I do not understand. I tried, but can't get the command into runwait wrapped. Can you give me the example for this exact cmd line:

bitsadmin.exe /transfer "Name" https://www.Site C:\downloads\setup.exe

Here one way to perform and check for error

Local $sCmd = 'bitsadmin /transfer testdl http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/update.dat c:\apps\update.dat'
ConsoleWrite($sCmd & @CRLF)
Local $iPID = Run(@comspec & " /K " & $sCmd, "c:\apps", @SW_SHOW)
ConsoleWrite(@error & "/" & $iPID & @CRLF)

Hi Nine,

Thank you very much. It is working flawlesly.

I have only one problem left. When download is finished it does not shutdown CMD automaticly. I want it to close after download is completed to run the next step in script.  What line do I need to close CMD after download? 

 

I found the solution for it on Forum. I need to use /C. So problem solved. Great. 

Thank you very much for your help. I realy appreciate it.
