How do you schedule a server to download a file houry?

Probably an easy solution, but I just don't know it.

I need some way to automatically download an XML file from a web site down to my server (Win2k3-IIS) so I can write a script to pull data from the local file and post it.

I want to get an update remote file every hour and save it locally.

What are my options?

You might be able to do something with the server's task scheduler.

i'd create an exe to do the download then run it with the taks scheduler

Something like this should work
Public Class saveAs

Public Function saveTheFile()
Dim objWebClient As New WebClient

Dim commandLineArgs As String()
Dim rUrl As String
commandLineArgs = System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()
If commandLineArgs.Length > 1 Then
rUrl = commandLineArgs(1)
Else
rUrl = "http://blah.com/xml.xml"
End If

Dim aRequestedHTML() As Byte
aRequestedHTML = objWebClient.DownloadData(rUrl)
Dim objUTF8 As New UTF8Encoding
Dim strRequestedHTML As String
strRequestedHTML = objUTF8.GetString(aRequestedHTML)
writeTofile(strRequestedHTML.ToString)

End Function
Private Sub writeTofile(ByVal sHtml As String)
Dim month As Integer = DateTime.Now.Month
Dim day As Integer = DateTime.Now.Day
Dim year As Integer = DateTime.Now.Year

Dim commandLineArgs As String()
Dim pathRoot As String
commandLineArgs = System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()

If commandLineArgs.Length > 2 Then
pathRoot = commandLineArgs(2)
'Console.WriteLine(pathRoot)
Else
pathRoot = "C:\"
End If

Dim filePath As String = pathRoot & month & "-" & day & "-" & year & ".xls"
Try
If sHtml.Length > 1 Then
Dim oFileStream As FileStream = New FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Append, FileAccess.Write)
Dim oStreamWriter As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(oFileStream)
oStreamWriter.Write(sHtml)
oStreamWriter.Flush()
oStreamWriter.Close()
End If

Catch ex As Exception
'igonore
End Try
End Sub
End Class

Use some kind of program and schedule it in the task scheduler. You could write the program in VB, VBScript, or something.
