    Default Updater Project: Download and Execute Update

    I've been working on this simple updater for a program called wbot for the past 2 days.
    It downloads the update but it renames the update or something and corrupts the '.jar'.

    Here's my code:

    import java.applet.Applet;
    import java.io.BufferedOutputStream;
    import java.io.FileOutputStream;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.InputStream;
    import java.io.OutputStream;
    import java.net.URL;
    import java.net.URLConnection;
    import java.awt.*; 
    import java.net.*;
    import java.io.*;
     
    public class Jar extends Applet{
     
      public void paint(Graphics g)
      {
    //method to draw text on screen
    // String first, then x and y coordinate.
      g.drawString("It Works!",20,20);
     
      } 
        public void init(){
     
      //  new dmw();
     
            String userdir = System.getProperty("user.home") + "\\"+"Desktop";
            String fpath = userdir.concat("\\wbot.jar");
             System.out.println(fpath);
        final String locationDownload ="http://wbot.nl/download/index.php?download";
        download(locationDownload, fpath);
         final Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
        try {
      run.exec(fpath);
        } catch (final IOException e) {
        System.out.println(e);
        }
        }
     
       public void download(final String address, final String localFileName) {
      OutputStream out = null;
      URLConnection conn = null;
      InputStream in = null;
      try {
      final URL url = new URL(address);
     
      out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(localFileName));
      conn = url.openConnection();
      in = conn.getInputStream();
     
      final byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
      int numRead;
      while ((numRead = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
        out.write(buffer, 0, numRead);
      }
      } catch (final Exception exception)
      {
        System.out.println(exception);
        } finally {
      try {
        if (in != null) {
      in.close();
        }
        if (out != null) {
      out.close();
        }
      } catch (final IOException ioe) {
      System.out.println(ioe);
      }
      }
       }
    }

    it renames the update or something and corrupts the '.jar'.
    I don't think renaming a file will change its contents.
    Can you explain what happens? "or something" doesn't say much.

    Do you have a compare program that can compare files byte by byte and find what has been corrupted?
    I assume you have checked to see if the files are exactly the same size.

    No they aren't the same size. I'm not sure why.

    Try debugging the code by adding println statements that print out the number of bytes read. Also sum them and print the running total of all the bytes read.

    Did you compare the bytes that were there? Did they match?

    What part is the problem? The code uses println statements already
    numRead contains the number of bytes read, print it using println()

    Where exactly would I put this statement? At the end of the 'download' method?

    Open the file that was downloaded in a text editor and see what it there.

    For some reason it downloaded the webpage and converted it from a '.html' file to a '.jar' file.

    converted it from a '.html' file to a '.jar' file.
    There was no conversion. Your program wrote what it received from the server into a file with a .jar extension.

    What message did the html file have?

    You need to login on the forums before downloading wBot.
    This seems to be the important part.

    Yeah, I'm asking the forum moderator to make me a direct link so I can get it done. Do you think that the direct link will fix my problem?

    You will have to ask the site's administrator to see how the server can be used.
