Volunteering needed for a couple of scripts for NON-Profit org (501c3 IRS)

[spiritssight]

Hello All,

I am looking for help with making a scripte that will grab files off a
website www .irs. gov, the files are zipped file with exe as the
endings. I want to upload them to the server so then I can either
unzip them using a unzip tool. the script could work off a flat file
with the names and URL of the files or by input boxes does not matter.

I would be very thankful for any and all help, I have to parts of the
system down, now I just need to get the files from the website and
decompress them through a script for then the other scripts can do
their jobs.

Once again this is for a NON-Profit org (501c3 under the IRS)

Sincerely,

If you have a list of the files you need, you can put them into an array, iterate it and use [man]copy[/man]; if URL wrappers are supported.

After you have the files on your side, you can use something like [man]unzip[/man] to decompress the files.

Thanks for the respone.

Could you please explain more or show example to what you say! also the host sys is unix i believe so how could I unzip on the server the file is a exe file that is a auto decompressen file, you can unzip the file on windows using a zip tool with out have to running the exe its self so I am hoping that is also the case with unix / linx

thanks for your help
