Download a file from a batch file

Question

How would I auto download a picture onto my PC using a batch file into the pictures section of my PC ?

I have already tried looking on Google and have found nothing !

Answer 1

For example, i use a little function in powershell and with a batch file i can download a file like this one :

@echo off
Set "URL=http://www.kcc.edu/campaigns/PublishingImages/poh.jpg"
Set "File=%USERPROFILE%\Pictures\Hello.png"
Call :Download "%URL%" "%File%"
Start "" "%File%"
exit
::**********************************************************************************
:Download <url> <File>
Powershell.exe -command "(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('%1','%2')"
exit /b
::********************************************************************************** 

Here is another example where i used the same function to download the tool called VirusTotal Uploader from Virustotal.com to upload and check files.

Scan_Registry_Virustotal.bat
