Autoupdate

does anyone know how to download content from a website or ftp, like the norton autoupdate or sierra utilities update program?

I do. But the problem I am currently investigating is how to show download progress with the inet control which I don't think is possible, so I'm investigating doing it with winsock and Socketwrench.

here's the code to download something with the INET control (inet1)

Inet1.AccessType = icUseDefault
Dim B() As Byte
Dim strURL As String

strURL = "www.vb-world.net/sample.zip"

B() = Inet1.OpenURL(strURL, icByteArray)

Open "C:\sample.zip" For Binary Access _
Write As #1
Put #1, , B()
Close #1

this saves the file byte by byte in a 'virtual' file created on ur C:\ drive named sample.zip -> the url to vb-world is incorrect ! remember that, u have to use a valid url offcourse..

I hope this helped you out..
