Hello friends,

I am trying to open a web page using the InetGet() function as follows:

InetGet("http://www.google.com")

The browser window does not open at all. Can someone please tell me what I should do to open a web page or download a file using ftp. Please do show a sample script that uses the InetGet() funtion. An early reply would be highly appreciated.

Regards

Sabu.

How did you determine that it doesn't work ?

Have you looked at the helpfile how the function needs to be used?

Inetget downloads the contents of an url into a file. A sample script for INetGet is available in the AutoIt help files, search for it. The example should speak for itself.

If you want to open a browser to a specific location, you might want to use the _IECreate() function instead. Help is again found in the help files, but it goes a little something like this:

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ("www.autoitscript.com")

Hi,

Thanks guys for your reponses. As suggested by you, I browsed through the AutoIt help and found the following piece of sample code:

InetGet("http://www.mozilla.org", "C:\foo.html")

InetGet("http://www.autoitscript.com", "C:\mydownload.htm", 1)

InetGet("ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/README", "README.txt", 1)

; Advanced example - downloading in the background

InetGet("http://www.nowhere.com/somelargefile.exe", "test.exe", 1, 1)

While @InetGetActive

TrayTip("Downloading", "Bytes = " & @InetGetBytesRead, 10, 16)

Sleep(250)

Wend

MsgBox(0, "Bytes read", @InetGetBytesRead)

Ironically, this didnt work for me either. Also, my IE version is 6.x. However, the code snippet in SadBunny's message worked. But how can I use that to download files/folders to my computer using ftp? The InetGet() function however has this feature of downloading files to desired filenames/folders, IF IT WORKS as claimed in the help files.

Regards

In my case, this works like a charm:

InetGet("ftp://ftp.xs4all.nl/pub/test/3mb.bin",@DesktopCommonDir&"\3mb_file.bin")
Also, check this from INetGet help:

To use a username and password when connecting simply prefix the servername with "username:password@", e.g.

"http://myuser:mypassword@www.somesite.com"

The InetGet function works with http:// https:// and ftp:// - to change the transfer type when using ftp see the FtpBinaryMode option.
