problem downloading an mp4 to my hard drive

[paulvernier]

I can't create an action on BAS to download an MP4 video to my hard drive, even though the website allows me to click on their button and download the video file. I tried with the 'Open File Result' action, but I can only use this action for uploading a file. When I click on the site's button, nothing happens. Do you know which action I can use?

Thanks

You need to use the "Download" action from the "HTTP Client" module.

After clicking on the button on the website, use the "Wait File Download" action to wait for the file to download. The variable "[[DOWNLOADED_FILE_PATH]]" will contain the path to the downloaded file (the file is saved with a random name, this is done for security). To rename a file, use the "Move File/Folder" action

@Fox thank you very much it works perfectly indeed I didn't understand where it was downloaded
