A friend has approached me with this problem:
He needs to get the target file from the following URL:
http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=UPS&d=5&e=21&f=2005&g=d&a=10&b=10&c=1999&ignore=.csv
and land it on one of his local netowrk shares. He cannot run IIS so ASP is out of the question.
I was thinking of a scheduled task to run IE and pass the URL as a command line argument. The problem with that is you still have to answer the file download dialog.
What’s the best ultra low footprint solution for doing this on a 2000 or XP machine?
Thanks.
