Hi guys,
how can i download/get files from a localareanetwork server?
I like to get the installation files from the server.

You can use CopyFiles to copy files. For example:

CopyFiles \\server\directory\sourcefilename.exe $INSTDIR

many thanks for your fast answer :-D


Do you have any command to establish at first a connection to the server (source directory) with user and password for the directory? (the server is a Windows machine)

That's all i need... thank you
