It looks like its working. I will let you know when it gets to an actual
file. It's still looping and hasn't hit a number that is the same as a file
name.
Thank you,
Chris Romano

curl is pretty easy...the first couple of paragraphs of the man page
outline everything you need to know. the syntax would look something
like this:
$ curl https://www.server.com/[00000000-99999999].exe
let me know if that works for ya...
