: Do you connect through HTTP proxy server?

No.

: No.

However looking at Windows Services I do have the
following.

Symantec Proxy Service
Visual Studio Debugger Proxy Service.

Could either of these make a difference ?

Because it works in the web browser and you cannot get it working in the script using Web commands try the following temporary workaround

Dim id, number
// 1. just in case close any open Internet Explore window
RunAndWait "ProcessKill /T 3 IEXPLORE.EXE", "", 60, id
// 2. Open URL in the web browser
WebOpenPage "http://username:password@www.filehere.com/members/filetodownload.txt"
Wait 10
// 3. Send keystrokes to the Open/Save dialog and make it save the file where needed
SendKeys "{ALT}Sc:\\localfile.txt{ENTER}"
// 4. Wait up to 60 seconds for download to complete and then close the web browser
RunAndWait "ProcessKill /T 60 IEXPLORE.EXE", "", 180, id

Symantec Antivirus can be configured or pre-configured to let only certain programs get out to the Internet. If this is the case it may block 24x7.
Please see my previous message with the suggested workaround.

WebOpenPage(http://username:password@www.filehere.com/members/filetodownload.txt)

Using this example instead of @www.

I am getting @6ww.

Try either @@www or @WWW.

PS. I wonder if that is the reason for WebGetPageHTML and WebGetFile failing in the first place.

Thanks alot.

By using the @@www together with WebGetPageHTML I
have managed to get it working.
