no it's rather a download. I have a link to an image which I want to display on my page. But I do not want to refer to it in its current location. I want to copy that image to my own server from what webserver its on and save it on my own server and then display it. So you could say I want my ASP script to download a file from an URL location...

yeah it'S the same thing

an upload script can do the trick, u have just to specify the file location (local or on the internet) in your case the file is already on the internet

Okay I found a way... The upload thing seemed overkill and requires the use of a component on the webserver. So in my search for components on my webserver I found the aspHTTP component. It does the job easily:

Set HttpObj = Server.CreateObject("AspHTTP.Conn")
HttpObj.Url = arrImg(i)
HttpObj.FollowRedirects = True
HttpObj.RequestMethod = "GET"
HttpObj.UserAgent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows NT; DigExt)"
HTTPObj.SaveFileTo = server.MapPath(filepath & filename)
HttpObj.GetURL
Set HttpObj = nothing

And its saved...

I'm handing out the points anyways - gonna split them.

Thanks for your time guys...
