Using xmlhttp object to download file

[pilg]

I understand that the XMLHTTP object is cabable of downloading files from a remote location.

Does anyone know how this is done? I have tried google with no luck.

I need to download a .CSV file and then run some processing on it.

I have checked the permissions on the directory and even tried opening it up to everyone but the file still does not download. Very strange.....(

does it give any errors...did check for the file at the correct place...did you make any changes to the code...go ahead and insert some response.write statements for debugging purposes to check if all the paths are correct...

When I first run the script I don't recieve any errors whatsoever but if I hit refresh I recieve the following:

ADODB.Stream error '800a0bbc'

Write to file failed.

/test.asp, line 34

Which is this line:

oStream.savetofile DestFolder & myfilename, adSaveCreateNotExist

If I place a response.write in front of this line it displays but gives the same error as above but if I place it after it does not display.

as i said...check the write permissions...you havent set them properly yet...

I have opened up the whole directory to everyone but still the file is not downloaded. The filing system couldn't be any opener.... I do not understand!

The error is:

ADODB.Stream error '800a0bbc'

Write to file failed.

/test.asp, line 34

check the permissions in both IIS Admin and the underlying file system.
