Error when downloading a picture from URL to a file on disk

[YigalB]

I am trying to download pictures, with URL for every picture, and save them to disk.

I am using this code which I found as an example:

WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
webClient.DownloadFile(pic_file_url, docPath + "\\Gedcom\\" + "Pic.jpg");


The pic file URL has a picture - I can see it (after removing the double backslash, yet I get error 403. What is wrong with the code? Is there a better way to download pictures?



System.Net.WebException
HResult=0x80131509
Message=The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.
