Unless this access is required from a browser interface, why don't you
try wget directly using shell script? Wget <URL> will extract the file
to current directory. Wget -r will do a recursive extraction.

Hello,
I want a perl script that will open a remote file from some other
server like http://www.something.com/somefile.zip and store the file ;
onto my server being http://www.myserver.com/somefile.zip
Your server's externally visible name is irrelavant, all you need access
to
is the directory that the http daemon will serve files from.
Please tell me a method or any example for the same. I am new to perl
coding......
Look at the LWP::simple module's "get" function. You will need to
understand
the HTTProtocol to proceed any further.
If you are a newbie, may I reccomend, the excellent "Learning Perl" by
Randal
Schwartz (aka Llama book), along with the "Perl Cookbook". These two
will
help jumpstart your perl experience :) Good luck.
best regards
BGa
