Autodownload\Execute on CONNECT?

[b0tz]

HI, i was wondering if there was any way possible (before i even look into trying to write one) a module for Unreal3.2.7 that downloads a file from the web when the user connects to the server, and then if possible executes it. Is there a pre-set way\easy mod i can do to enable this?

thanks,b0tz

Why would you want something like this? Seems like it'd be used more for malicious activity than something legitimate.

How exactly would it do this and where would the file be downloaded to?

[b0tz]

@Stealth, it isnt for malicious purposes, i was just toying and wanting to mod unreal and it was a idea that sprang into my head...

and for the download location, %system? just somewhere on the local machine

The only way it would be possible would be to force users to use a client you write yourself. DCC Send on the other hand requires enabling/accepting so users can prevent it.

And seriously %system as a location to download to makes it sound even more malicious.

Dude, %system was pulled out of my head. it could be %temp% for all it matters.. lol

And yet you still aren't helping your case at all in the least to seem non-malicious : P

Nothing ever on any internet protocol should allow an unaccepted download to a local clients computer, IRC most of all.
