How to Get a File from a webpage?

Hello,

I am trying to find out how to get a file (word, excel, etc.) from a webpage. I am using Visual Basic Express 2005. Would I use webrequest, get or some other command. I understand how to get a webpage, but not how to get a file that resides on a webpage. Thank you for any help you can offer.

    As far as I know, it's the same way you get a web page. Just make sure you add the file extensions (.doc, .xls, etc.)

    Try my.Computer.Network.DownloadFile passing in the source URI and destination path.
