Hello Sir,

I want to download a file in particular website daily.

The file name is changed but the extension doesnot changed.

For example

I want to download Symantec Antivirus corporate edition updates

located in this website

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/download/pages/US-SAVCE.html

file name : vd20b203.xdb

The file name was changed daily. But the extension ".xdb" was not changed.

I want to automatically download a file in my location.

Not for automatic updates in antivirus software.

Whether any software or feature is available in windows.

Thank You.

Use FTP client and a batch script to download such files e.g.

ftp -A -s symantec.txt

Symantec.txt:
open ftp.symantec.com
cd AVDEFS/norton_antivirus_xdb
binary
mget *.xdb
quit

Then put the ftp command in a batch file and run it via Scheduled Tasks.

Try this:
Code:
ftp -A -s:symantec.txt

instead of this:

Code:
ftp -A -s symantec.txt 


So in your batch file:
Code:
ftp -A -s:symantec.txt

and in symantec.txt:
Code:
open ftp.symantec.com
cd AVDEFS/norton_antivirus_xdb
binary
mget *.xdb
quit
