Hi, I wanted to know is there a way i can grab a file from my old site instead of reuploading it? there are about 100 Songs in my old site, i want to know if there is a code or something in asp which can directly copy those files form that site to my new site? is it possible ? Long time a ago i saw this feature in the http://www.freeservers.com - Freeservers CP, it had this option to copy a complete site to the free server account, but i need a code which may do such thing for me. If any one of you knows any thing about it, please do help! |

Response.ScriptTimeout = 60 * 60 Dim objStream Set objStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream") objStream.Type = 1 objStream.Open ("URL=http://youroldsite.com/song.mp3") objStream.SaveToFile Server.MapPath(".") & "song.mp3", 2 objStream.Close() Set objStream = Nothing First problem is unless you're old site has directory browsing enabled you can't get a list of the files (I don't think Freeservers could doit neither), and even if you do it won't be that easy to get the list... Second problem is that it most likely will timeout on you if you're host has a timeout set.... ------------- FeRnAN http://www.danasoft.com/">
