I have a scheduled job that runs and sends a report via email. However, the email body contains the link not the actual attachment. I have to click the link to go to the page and download the file to save it to a specific folder and read the file. Is there a way to do this using clover? I need to automate the process. I want to use clover to do this. Is it at all possible?

Hi kasturi,

just read the URL from mail, and then use SystemExecute component to launch utility like wget ([http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/](http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/)) or curl([http://curl.haxx.se/](http://curl.haxx.se/)) which will do actual download. Bot utilities run on both unix and windows.
