Thank you Nello, > i'll point this out in case this isn't obvious ... It is now. I just didn't know I could pass username and password like that:
> http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/directory/thefile.txt All I've used before was something like: http://domain.com.au/directory/thefile.htm?p1=blah1&p2=blah2 or, could pass them as form variables to another .asp page. I'm ok now. The prog now lets the user to build a list of sites, specifying usernames and passwords. Then, using Indy's TIdHTTP the prog goes through that list and downloads the files specified (either .txt or .csv) and repeats the download each time period specified.
