Downloading TCMD.EXE

Since TCMD.EXE can no longer be copied to the local system using the internal COPY command...
Code: 
R:\>copy /g https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v33/tcmd.exe
https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v33/tcmd.exe => R:\tcmd.exe
TCC: HTTP protocol error. 403 Forbidden. "https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v33/tcmd.exe"

     0 files copied       1 failed

...note that CURL.EXE,
part of the Windows 10 OS,
can be used to copy TCMD.EXE to the local system.

Code: 
R:\>curl.exe -s -A "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:92.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/92.0" -O https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v33/tcmd.exe

VERY interesting discovery!

That info could at least help for other similar problems (outside jpsoft domain) and copy (or maybe another commands (even for non TCC too)). Good to know that in such cases it has to be a browser UA (user agent) - it's logical, else we could not download it with a browser BUT ... for the case if a command fails it's maybe not always immediately clear why ... with this info in mind it can really provide a quick solution.

Thanks for posting.

I tried it from home, and I got the 403 error. I guess work is special somehow.
 
Just tried it again, and no-go;
Code: 
R:\>echo %_date %_time & copy /g https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v33/tcmd.exe
2024-11-21 09:16:46
https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v33/tcmd.exe => R:\tcmd.exe
TCC: HTTP protocol error. 403 Forbidden. "https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v33/tcmd.exe"

Are you having this problem on other sites or just jpsoft.com?

R:\>copy /g https://www.vbrichclient.com/downloads/RC6BaseDlls.zip

I had to modify my aiu.btm batch file on October 9, 2024.

That was the day I was unable to download the tcmdupdate.aiu file,
whereas I had been able to download it before.

Code: 
echo Getting File info for https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v33/TCMD.EXE
::copy /q https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v33/tcmdupdate.aiu %temp
::As of 2024/10/09 returns TCC: HTTP protocol error. 403 Forbidden. "https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v33/tcmdupdate.aiu"
::Switched to curl.exe instead of copy.
curl.exe -s -A "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:92.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/92.0" -O https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v33/tcmdupdate.aiu

Cannot type a file or copy a file from jpsoft.com;
Code: 
U:\>type "https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v33/tcmdupdate.aiu" 
TCC: HTTP protocol error. 403 Forbidden. "https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v33/tcmdupdate.aiu"

Code: 
U:\>copy /g "https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v33/tcmdupdate.aiu"
https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v33/tcmdupdate.aiu => U:\tcmdupdate.aiu

I'm getting the same "403 Forbidden" error. My public IP is 72.85.200.195.

Code: 
>*copy /g https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v33/tcmd.exe
https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v33/tcmd.exe => C:\temp\tcmd.exe
TCC: HTTP protocol error. 403 Forbidden. "https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v33/tcmd.exe"
 
Any progress on this one? FWIW, these plugins work.

Code: 
v:\> echo %@ifiletime[jpsoft.com/downloads/v33/tcmdupdate.aiu]
Tue, 05 Nov 2024 05:11:28 GMT

v:\> echo %@ifilesize[jpsoft.com/downloads/v33/tcmdupdate.aiu]
1633

They use InternetOpenW() with L"JPUser" as the user agent string.
 
And (maybe no surprise) with an empty user agent string, I get this.

Code: 
v:\> echo %@ifiletime[jpsoft.com/downloads/v33/tcmdupdate.aiu]
4UTILS: (WININET) The requested header was not found
