Re: How do I copy a file from the Internet

Thank you John. At this time all I want is to be able to keep a copy of the

Thanks to both of you,
Eddie

If you need a stream, use

Stream strm = Client.OpenRead(uri)

\this should do it:

System.Net.WebClient client = new WebClient(); client.DownloadFile(Uri,
