get images from server and save them locally

[Ruan_1]

How can I get images from a server and save them locally.

I want to import images from a url and upload it to my server. I have all the url of the images stored on my database (ETSP_GET_PHOTO_URL)

I am very new to this so any help would be nice!

I am doing this in a windows service.

Try This
WebClient wc = new WebClient;
wc.DownloadFile("http://www.site.com/image.jpg", Server.MapPath("~\images\image.jpg"));

I literally copy/pasted this from a code I wrote, so there might be a little overhead

//downloads an image from the web (if it doesn't exist on file)
public static bool Image (string url, string filename, bool forceDownload) 
{
    //if the file currently doesn't exist (download it) (or if we force it to download again)
    if ((File.Exists(filename) == false) || (forceDownload == true)) 
    {
        if (Directory.Exists(Path.GetDirectoryName(filename)) == false) //if the directory doesn't exist, create it
        {
            Directory.CreateDirectory(Path.GetDirectoryName(filename));
        }

        try //it will try to download
        {
            WebClient client = new WebClient();
            client.DownloadFile(url, filename);
        }
        catch (Exception error)
        {
            return false;
        }
    }

    return true;
}

This piece of code is designed to download the image only if it doesn't exist or if it's told to download it again anyway

It would be good to use like this...

WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
webClient.DownloadFile(remoteFileUrl, localFileName);

or you can try this...

using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(GenericData.DBConnection))
    {
    con.Open();
    using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT ImageData FROM Images WHERE Id=@ID", con))
        {
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ID", Id);
        SqlDataReader r = cmd.ExecuteReader();
        if (r.Read())
            {
            MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream((byte[])r["ImageData"]);
            MyImage = Image.FromStream(ms);
            }
        }
    }
