downloading file using winsock

can someone show me a simple way of doing this?

winsock.remotehost = "http://www.mysite.com"
port = 80

and then a GET for blah.txt

and it should download this and save it in C:\stuff

any help guys please?

Why do you want to go through all the trouble of making a connection with Winsock? You could simply use this API call:

VB Code:

Private Declare Function URLDownloadToFile Lib "urlmon" _
Alias "URLDownloadToFileA" (ByVal pCaller As Long, ByVal szURL As String, _
ByVal szFileName As String, ByVal dwReserved As Long, ByVal lpfnCB As Long) As Long
