Hello Sir,
I want to download a file in particular website daily.
The file name is changed but the extension doesnot changed.
For example
I want to download Symantec Antivirus corporate edition updates
located in this website
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/download/pages/US-SAVCE.html
file name : vd20b203.xdb
The file name was changed daily. But the extension ".xdb" was not changed.
I want to automatically download a file in my location.
Not for automatic updates in antivirus software.
Whether any software or feature is available in windows.
Thank You.

Use FTP client and a batch script to download such files e.g.
ftp -A -s symantec.txt
Symantec.txt:
open ftp.symantec.com
cd AVDEFS/norton_antivirus_xdb
binary
mget *.xdb
quit
Then put the ftp command in a batch file and run it via Scheduled Tasks.
ftp -A -s symantec.txt
Symantec.txt:
open ftp.symantec.com
cd AVDEFS/norton_antivirus_xdb
binary
mget *.xdb
quit
Then put the ftp command in a batch file and run it via Scheduled Tasks.

Code:
ftp -A -s:symantec.txtinstead of this:
Code:
ftp -A -s symantec.txt
So in your batch file:
Code:
ftp -A -s:symantec.txtand in symantec.txt:
Code:
open ftp.symantec.comcd AVDEFS/norton_antivirus_xdbbinarymget *.xdbquit
Why not use the automatic update ?
