The reason your customer hasn't responded is because this is a rather strange request. Where the document is stored on THEIR web server should make no difference to you. The URL itself is your access to that document, and ANY document they provide a link to. Like Neil suggests, use HTTP Get, to retrieve the document. That's not to say that you couldn't reproduce their organization, if part of the provided URL makes sense on your end. For example, you can still store the document to the link you're showing in your own "Repository/DMMATC" folder. But, if this is the kind of thing you're going to be doing for lots of different customers, you can organize the received file in whatever folder structure makes sense to you.
