Yes there is, you can use the MsgPlus.DownloadFile() function. See the Scripting Documentation for more information

code:
function OnEvent_DownloadFileComplete(Url, OutFile, Success){
Debug.Trace("Url: " + Url);
Debug.Trace("OutFile: " + OutFile);
Debug.Trace("Success: " + Success);
}
var Url = "http://www.msgpluslive.net/favicon.ico";
MsgPlus.DownloadFile(Url);
This works.
code:
Skript wurde angehalten
Skript wird gestartet
Skript wurde geladen und ist bereit
Aufgerufene Funktion: OnEvent_DownloadFileComplete
Url: http://www.msgpluslive.net/favicon.ico
OutFile: C:\DOKUME~1\Manuel\LOKALE~1\Temp\mpscript_343b.tmp
Success: true
But:
code:
var Url = "http://www.msgpluslive.net/favicon.ico";
var OutFile = "C:\\ ";
MsgPlus.DownloadFile(Url, OutFile);
doesnt work:
code:
Skript wird gestartet
Skript wurde geladen und ist bereit
Aufgerufene Funktion: OnEvent_DownloadFileComplete
Url: http://www.msgpluslive.net/favicon.ico
OutFile: C:\
Success: false

That's because "OutFile" has to be a file path, not only a folder path. So you should change that to something like:
js code:
var Url = "http://www.msgpluslive.net/favicon.ico";
var OutFile = "C:\\favicon.ico";
MsgPlus.DownloadFile(Url, OutFile);

Woot
thx. It works now!New Question: Is there a way to find out a path, for example, to the MSN Script ? So it will automatically update itself?
RE: Download a File by NanaFreak on 06-20-2009 at 01:11 PM
MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath
and if you want to make a script auto-update, Messenger Plus! Live can do this if you submit it to the database... I forget where this information is, but if you search the forums or the main website you should be able to find this 
edit: shush you Matti
