Hello, is there a way to download a file from bigfix server with prefetch that puts it someother loaction rather than in the default dowwnload directory. For instance to the root of c:?

What I have done in the past is to use BFArchive to put all the files or one file in the *.TMP file - this method works great when you have a bunch of files, for some sort of installation.
- To create the file,
BFArchive -a c:\folderwithfile(s) filename.tmp
- To extract the files
BFArchive -x __Download\filename.tmp c:\somefolder
You can then download this file using prefetch and using BFArchive you can then export the file(s) to the directory of your choice. The Prefetch file will still exist in the normal BigFix folder in this case… obviously you could alway do:
if {not exists file c:\filename}
Copy __Download\filename.exe c:\FolderNameWhereYouWantToStoreFiles
end if
if your question is you want to place all prefetch files in one location other then the BigFix Folders, that I will leave that to a GURU.
