Downloading Web Files with Authentication
Published: 10/28/2008 |

Today's programs are almost always Web-enabled in some fashion, and the Web has become the defacto vehicle for distributing data. There may be times when you find the need to download a file from a Web server, and most often times the file will be protected by some sort of authentication method. Here's some quick code that will enable this:
VB:Dim username As String = "type your username here" Dim password As String = "type your password here" Dim url As String = "type url to picture here" Dim localPath As String = "type path you want to save the picture to here" Dim client As New WebClient() client.Credentials = New NetworkCredential(username, password) client.DownloadFile(url, localPath)
string username = "type your username here"; string password = "type your password here"; string url = "type url to picture here"; string localPath = "type path you want to save the picture to here"; WebClient client = new WebClient(); client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password); client.DownloadFile(url, localPath);
