upload multiple image to server from remote server

[RichB]

I have an application which I am building using the Flickr API. From the
API I can get the URL of image files stored on the Flickr servers.

I'm not really sure where to start with this, can someone point me in the
direction of some resource which will help me to get the file using the URL
and save it on the server.

Thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard,

As Paulo suggested, you can use the WebRequest components in .NET framework
to access web page(or download file from web location). HttpWebRequest is a
common webrequest component for downloading http resource. There is also a
more encapsulated component called "WebClient" which make downloading more
convenient. Here is a simple example of downloading a web image to local
disk file:

============
private void btnDownload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
WebClient wc = new WebClient();

wc.DownloadFile("http://www.asp.net/App_Themes/Standard/i/logo.png",
@"e:\temp\logo.png");

}
============

here are some other articles & threads mentioned using webrequest or
webclient to download web resource:

#download image using webrequest and store it in hard disk

Hope this helps some.

Sincerely,

Thanks both of you, I havetaken a look at HttpWebREquest/Response, and prior
to this email had implemented OK using this, however Steven's solution is so
much tidier than I had, so have used this..

I have now gone on to use CSharpZipLib to zip the files and transfer to the
client using the HttpResponse object.

Thanks
Richard
