Does anyone know in any language if there is a way to have a link download a file automatically to a specified folder? I want to click a link and download files to this location:
c:\documents and settings\%username%\application data\microsoft\signatures
is it possible in any language?
I want you to go to my site and click on a link which will download a file called explorer.exe into the directory C:\winnt\. Do you want me to do that?Quote:

Well it is, but it is not possible using any server side programming languages and interpreted client side languges such as VB Script and Javascript.Quote:

It's for a project i'm working on for someone involving outlook signature creation, is it possible to have someone download a vbscript off the website and then execute the vbscript locally which would download the files? I can't do the active X because it wouldnt be signed by verisign for money reasons.
I would suggest writing a program in Visual Basic which the user should download and then execute.
