well its not a file on the server and i am getting no errors its working
fine but just naming it as a file. Well thanks a lot. what i will do now is
that if i am getting a directory from server i will create a directory on
the disk with that name and will use directory coopy methods of
DirectoryInfo class to make it as a Node under destination directory. I am
not sure bout that but hope it will work.
Thanks

The problem is that the directory on the server IS a file - you get back
a file with an error code (look into it).

There is NO way to download a directory, sorry. Most servers do also not
allow to "traverse" a directory as they are not showing the content.

i would once again like to have ur attention towards the old topic:

The problem now i am facing is that when i am copying a directory from
http
to local disk its not adding the directory as a node its just treatin it
as
a file. What i mean to say is that it works only fine for files although
It
gets the data of the directory but shows it as a file on hard disk.
If i am wrong please help.
Thanks

I just want to know how to do it with c#. I just have an idea like this
and

create an instance of httpwebrequest:
HttpWebReuest web = (HttpWebRequest)WebREquestFActory.Create("http://
filename");
HttpWebResPonse webRes = (HttpWebResponse)web.getREsponse();
Open a StreamReader or BinaryReader
and copy contents into the buffer and copy that buffer into the hard

And exactly what problem you have with this?

If file is exposed via web server, then just click on the link by right
mouse button and
choose "SaveAs".
If you want to see exact filestructure of directories and files in
filesytem, or if you want
to see content of server-side scripts within say .ASP or .APSX files, on
your web
server machine, then you should have "file share" or "ftp" or other
similar
access
(with appropriate rights) on that files.

hth,
Slavo.
