Making a download utility...

[code]

Hi,

If you compile the code below on www.onlinecompiler.net/
you get a tool to download a file.
Rename it to urltool.exe

Here the compile code (urltool.exe):



#include <windows.h>

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

{



typedef HRESULT (__stdcall *ru)(LPCTSTR,LPCTSTR,LPCTSTR,int,int);





   HINSTANCE hDLL;

hDLL= LoadLibrary("urlmon.dll");





   if (hDLL == NULL) {

       

  } else {





   

     



ru td = (ru)GetProcAddress(hDLL, "URLDownloadToFileA");

     

int res= td(NULL,(LPCTSTR)argv[1], (LPCTSTR)argv[2],0,0);

}







}


urltool.exe (4.5 KB)

And run it with :

RUN "urltool.exe jbfilesarchive.com/images/Logo_LibertyBASIC.png Logo_LibertyBASIC.png"

The urltool.exe has to be in the same directory...


Here also .bas file with download button...Goodluck!



nomainwin

WindowWidth=800

WindowHeight=600





   button #scr, "Download image... ", [b1], UL, 150, 100











  open "Download..." for graphics_nsb as #scr



   print #scr, "fill yellow"

   print #scr, "flush"





     wait



   [b1]





RUN "urltool.exe http://jbfilesarchive.com/images/Logo_LibertyBASIC.png Logo_LibertyBASIC.png"



b$ = "Logo_LibertyBASIC.png"

RUN "rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler ";b$





wait

What is a latency of the download, will you be working on upload too?

That (see download progress)is not so easy to do on www.onlinecompiler.net/ .
You have no control of 'linking' on that site.
And I am not working on a FTP protocol.

Here's a what if,
What if upload-client and server is made and client only download periodicly from my own website? Seems like clean way to recieve data without too much headache
