[code it]

hi i got this code
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("", "" )

how do i make it replace the file because it gives me errors if the file already exsists, can i make it so it downlods and replace that file, please help

With the same code you have more options, you have the server username and password from the server you are downloading the file, showUI, timeout and overwrite.

Code: Select all

My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("download location", "where you want to save it", "user", "pass", False, 100, True)

thanks ill try it out

[code it]

do i have to put a user, pass because it downloaded files earlier without a user and pass?

[smashapps]

You could just put , , instead of using a user and a pass and leave it blank, look in Visual studio if it says in the description that comes up when you type "Username" above your code just put , then it will change to pass then put , then it will say Show UI you can just put True or False it gives a description as you're typing the code out

i tried this and it gave me errors i also tried doing "", "" also errors

[smashapps]

This should work:

Code: Select all

 My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("download location", "where you want to save it", "", "", False, 100, True)

The "", "" is user and pass default value, the False is showUI and 100 is connection timeout default and True is to overwrite the file

EDIT: how do i add a progress bar to it?

[smashapps]

I haven't done that for awhile sorry you will need someone else to help.

Is it replacing the file now though?
