- INTRODCTION, PROGRAM DESCRIPTION AND USAGE
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- FetchURL is a small robot that can fetch files from cyberspace. FetchURL
- uses a 16kb write-buffer and was designed to not consume much memory
- even when it is bringing huge data files. Furthermore, user can always
- abort [Ctrl-C] the transfer while it is in process.
-
- FetchURL understands the following template:
-
- TEMPLATE
- From/A,To/K
-
- From/A is the mandatory source object and To/K is the optional
- destination object.
-
- By default, FetchURL brings the from object from a server to the local
- computer.
-
- All of the following calls result in same action:
-
- FetchURL From www.xspace.nl/mix/index.html
- FetchURL From htt://www.xspace.nl/mix/index.html
- FetchURL www.xspace.nl/mix/
-
- As you can see in the above example, if the destination object is a
- directory, index.html is assumed as the destination target.
-
- By default, the destination object is located in the current directory.
- If you want to change this, you can use the To/K argument when you call
- the program.
-
- FetchURL From http://www.xspace.nl/mix/News.LHA To XDH1:News.LHA
-
- Will fetch News.LHA from www.xspace.nl/mix/ and copy it to XDH1:News.LHA
