How to save PDF automatically via cron job or other way?
Posted: Fri Feb 04, 2011 12:16 pm
I usually go to a web site every day and open their daily different PDF and then click on the PDF diskette icon and save it locally to my computer hard disk.
What I need is a script to save it not to my local hard disk but to my server and automatically. Essentially: move a PDF whose daily address on a public server not mine I know to a folder on my server so a number of PDFs are stored daily and automatically there with no need for me to use my browser and download locally first using my browser. I know how to create a cron job for any script to run at fixed time intervals but can't figure out what script to assign to the cron for the unattended automatic downloads. Any ideas? Can this be done at all?
Thanks
