The Language Reference says:
If a FolderItem is passed, the data will be downloaded to that file.
I think that means it's expecting a folder item which is a *file*
rather than a folder as in your code. I would try something like this:
f = DesktopFolder.child("myfile")
Does that work?

I'm trying to implement on of those 'check the web for newer
version' routines. I have a text file that contains just a version
number on my web site. I use HTTPSocket to retrieve this file and
compare against the current version of my app. All this does work.
If my app has a newer version I have a button appear in my about
window which should let the used download a newer version to their
desktop. I'm getting a error of 1 and it is reported immediately
where I would expect a small delay before reporting an error. I
can't seem to find out what error 1 is. All HTTP errors are in the
hundreds range. If I use the HTTP RB example I can download the
file but not from my app. Here's the code I'm using;
Dim mySocket As New HTTPSocket
Dim f As FolderItem
f = DesktopFolder
If f <> Nil then
mySocket.Yield = true
mySocket.Get( "http://mydomain/Updates/myfile"; , f)
else
beep
end if
