Hi,
I am trying to download files from the web, here are the details.
I log onto a site, usually this works :http://username:password@thesite.com gets me in.
Once here i see in html a whole bunch of links to csv files.
these files are posted daily, the name of the file is always todays date less 3 days ex: 1015200410152004.csv ( the date repeats twice)
I need to log on automatically and download these files daily or even montly..

Can someone help me get started?

You can form the file name using RoboTask's macrofunctions, like this:
{MonthNo}{Day}{Year}{MonthNo}{Day}{Year}.csv

i.e. in your case you should download the file
http://username:password@thesite.com/{M ... }{Year}{Mo nthNo}{Day}{Year}.csv
