Hi all,

I want to write a simple script to go to a certain
website and download a file on a daily basis.

The site might be www.someplace.com and the file may
be getme.txt

Would I use Lynx in there somehow? I planned to use
FTP to an FTP server, using automated (.netrc) FTP in
cron, but our firewall (and proxy) at the ISP (NTL)
isn't up for that. It worked from home :(

So, I want to use http to save
www.someplace.com/getme.txt to /root/getme.txt on our
local machine.

If it is using Lynx to do it, how do I set this up to
use the NTL proxy?

Thanks for you thoughts.
