I need to find a way to download images off of an http server. Is there any way of doing this? I'm sure there's an obvious solution right under my nose but I can't seem to find it. What I want to do is write a script to put in cron.hourly that goes to some website (www.somesite/images/certainimage.jpg) and saves it with a filename of datetime_certainimage.jpg. Then I can pipe it through a java applet and animate it. I have the java stuff worked out but I need to script the saving of the image. Is there a utility out there that accomplishes this? I tried lynx www.somesite/images/certainimage.jpg > file but lynx didn't like that. TIA! -Brian
