Downloading files from an URL

Hello, in this application, i'm downloading files from a website and saving them into my computer. That part works but for some reasons, i can't set the folder (where i want to put the downloaded files) in the function Open_Create_Replace.vi... Everytime i set the "C:\Users..." i get an error. But if i don't put the "shortcut" to the folder, the whole thing works.. 

I would also like to download the file without having the "menu pop-up" thingy where you must click "OK" to save the file.. Anyone has an idea to get the whole downloading and saving part w/o having to click "ok" for each file that gets downloaded?

In your image you are telling the function to create a file and the path to the file is a folder, that I assume is existing.  You must provide the full path including the file name to the Open/Create function.

 

It would be helpful if you posted what the error you got was as well to make sure this is what is happening.
