Hi,

I need to daily run a script that will download a file from a fixed location and save it on my computer with an appropriate filename-YYYYMMDD-HHSS.ext timestamp. I need a historical record of what that file was at that particular time. I can manually check and see what the changes were, so compairson not needed.

(I was looking for an online service that would do this for me, but I think a locally running script on my machine would be good enough).

Although i do have php on my machine, i would prefer if its a pure windows builtin solution, just in case i have to (likely) adapt it to someone else's system (non-techies).

If someone has something like this and can contribute the code - help would be most appreciated!!
