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?

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
