Download File

This plug-in provided command downloads any file from the Internet.

URL

Enter the full HTTP URL to the file that should be downloaded.

Local file path and name

Enter the full path for the local copy of the file on the target system. If file already exists, and the Allow resume broken downloads checkbox is checked, it will be assumed to be a previously broken download and the Download File command will attempt to resume the download from where it left off.

Return result in variable

If you wish to receive information on whether the file was successfully downloaded, enter the variable to hold success information here. Possible values are:

• SUCCESS: File was downloaded successfully.
• ERROR: File was not downloaded successfully. Check Internet connectivity.

If specified, this variable must have been previously defined in the setup script using the Set Variable command.

Proxy Server

If you wish to redirect the download through a proxy server, provide that information here.

Proxy Port

If the proxy server requires port information, enter that here.

Allow resume broken downloads

Check this checkbox to permit continuation of broken downloads. Uncheck it to always download files from the beginning.

 Notes

• Since downloads can take some amount of time, it is recommended you use the Display Dialog command to show a progress dialog while your download is taking place.
• This plug-in is unable to perform multi-threaded segmented downloads. If you wish to accelerate your setup using parallel simultaneous downloads, please use the Multi Part Download File plug-in.
