filecopy

[jorgeng]

Hello!

I have a webplace where customers login and download files.

I now want them to download files to their disk and run an autoit-script.

I have problems with downloading the files from autoit-script:

the code in autoit-script/exe:

$dir = ("C:\Program\Friendly" )

FileCopy("nordr.dbf", $dir, 1)

FileCopy("nordr.dbt", $dir, 1)

FileCopy("nscript.dbf", $dir, 1)

FileCopy("nscript.dbt", $dir, 1)

Is it possible for users to download autoit-exe file which run the filecopy-command and store files on

computer-harddisk, i can't get it to function.

The user today click on autoit-exe-file which works and install things in the customers program.

Look at the Fileinstall function to include these other files right in the script exe.

Fileinstall("c:\autoit\scripttobuild\nordr.dbf", $dir)

Note the first value can't be a variable.

Today users have to click manually on four files on the web after login, save as on local disk, ex c:\temp,

then on web click on autoit-exe file which run install on a program at users c:\program directory.

I want the process to copy the four files on web to c:\temp and then run autoit-exe file on web which

uses the four files on c:\temp and install to c:\program.

I'm assuming that you're having them go through internet explorer then? Perhaps looking up the _IE UDF in the help file will get you started in the right direction.

Fileinstall("c:\autoit\scripttobuild\nordr.dbf", $dir)

With Fileinstall It's the C: drive of the computer used to compile the script (your computer). With the example code I gave. when the script is built to an exe, the compiler will take the file from your hard drive: "c:\autoit\scripttobuild\nordr.dbf" and include it in the script exe file. Then when the exe is run, it will copy that file to the location in the variable $dir.

This is a good way to go as then your users only have to download one self contained file.

If you want the program to independently download a file from a website, look at the Inetget function:

InetGet ( "http://www.autoitscript.com/file.dbf" ,$dir)

however this relies on the user having internet explorer configured properly and have an active internet connection.
