Exactly what you wrote. If you need, though, a progress-bar (eg, a large
file), you may consider Emmanuel's way. Eg (more tiny in a real progress
bar):
################################################
set remoteFile to "http://server/FILE.DMG";
set fLength to (do shell script "curl -I " & quoted form of remoteFile & " |
grep -e 'Content-Length:' | awk '{print $2}'") as number
--> execute ignoring responses
do shell script "cd ~/Desktop; curl -O " & quoted form of remoteFile & " >
/dev/null 2>&1 &"
--> monitorize
repeat
try
set fSize to (do shell script "wc -c ~/Desktop/FILE.DMG | awk
'{print $1}'")
display dialog "Downloaded " & (fSize / 1024) & " kb..." giving up
after 1 with icon note
if (fSize as number) is fLength then exit repeat
end try
end repeat
