Help: Automatic Daily Download download and unzipping of file

[skoka123]

Hi,

I need to download a zip file from an http location everyday. I then would have to unzip the file and put it in a particular location on my PC.

Can somebody please help me with this? What software can I use for this?

Thanks,
Srikanth

Set the Download as you home page in you web browser. Then have the file open when the download is complete. Then you can set up whichever zip application your using to automaticly unzip the file into a specific location. So all you have to do is open your browser which should automaticly start the download and then when the download is complete click extract and your all set. That may be about as simple as it gets.

Create a batch file to run at boot (startup) similar to the ones found on this page.

They have a couple of good examples for McAfee and Norton that you could use as a template. This assumes you can download the file via FTP and not just HTTP

Thanks for you replies. I was hoping to find a command line utility that I could create a batch file with. I understand that winzip has a command line utility that can be used for this purpose but that needs to be downloaded from their website. Unfortunately it is not available for my version of Winzip. Surprisingly 7-zip does not seem to have this feature.

I need to download from http source.

Get WinRAR. That should have more features for you. Unfortunatly you'll have to pay to get all the features you want.
