Copy image file from web url to local folder?

Question

I have a web URL for the image. For example "http://testsite.com/web/abc.jpg". I want copy that URL in my local folder in "c:\images\"; and also when I copy that file into folder, I have to rename the image to "c:\images\xyz.jpg".

How can we do that?

Answer 1

Request the image, and save it. For example:

byte[] data;
using (WebClient client = new WebClient()) {
  data = client.DownloadData("http://testsite.com/web/abc.jpg");
}
File.WriteAllBytes(@"c:\images\xyz.jpg", data);

Answer 2

You could use a WebClient:

using (WebClient wc = new WebClient())
    wc.DownloadFile("http://testsite.com/web/abc.jpg", @"c:\images\xyz.jpg");

This assumes you actually have write rights to the C:\images folder.
