Question

Case: I need to feed my application a URL from any location on the internet. At the other end of the URL will be a file of some sorts. A picture/video/document and I need to save this item to my server automatically without a ‘save-as’ dialog box.

This needs to be done in ASP.NET.

Im having trouble on how to actually grab that file with asp.net after feeding it a URL… Any help would be great!

Thanks all

You can use webclient or httpwebrequest. Webclient is probably easier for what you want to do.

WebClient wc = new WebClient();

wc.DownloadFile(downloadURL.Text, savePath.Text);
