Download file from URL and place it in Resource folder in iPhone - iphone

Question

I am new to iPhone developer,
How can i download the epub file from url and store it in Resource folder ?
Here is my code snippet,
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
fileData = [NSMutableData data];
NSString *file = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=sample%20epub%20filetype%3Aepub&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CFMQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdl.dropbox.com%2Fu%2F1177388%2Fflagship_july_4_2010_flying_island_press.epub&ei=i5gHUIOWJI3RrQeGro3YAg&usg=AFQjCNFPKsV-tieF4vKv7BXYmS-QEvd7Uw"];
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL URLWithString:file];
NSURLRequest *req = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:fileURL];
NSURLConnection *conn = [NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:req delegate:self];
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response
{
[self.fileData setLength:0];
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data
{
[self.fileData appendData:data];
}
- (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection
{
NSArray *dirArray = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSLog(#"%#", [dirArray objectAtIndex:0]);
NSString *path = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", [dirArray objectAtIndex:0]];
if ([self.fileData writeToFile:path options:NSAtomicWrite error:nil] == NO) {
NSLog(#"writeToFile error");
}
else {
NSLog(#"Written!");
}
}
I am not able to see anything in my NSLog.

There is a problem in creation of file path also while writing. you have not specified any filename in the path. In the below line, I have used file name as "filename.txt". Give some proper name and it will write.
NSString *path = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/filename.txt", [dirArray objectAtIndex:0]];
There is a problem in creating URL also. Do it like this,
NSString *file = [NSString stringWithString:#"http://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=sample%20epub%20filetype%3Aepub&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CFMQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdl.dropbox.com%2Fu%2F1177388%2Fflagship_july_4_2010_flying_island_press.epub&ei=i5gHUIOWJI3RrQeGro3YAg&usg=AFQjCNFPKsV-tieF4vKv7BXYmS-QEvd7Uw"];
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL URLWithString:file];
You have created your file data with below line.
fileData = [NSMutableData data];
Make it like below,
fileData = [[NSMutableData alloc]init];
OR
self.fileData = [NSMutableData data];
Here iOS releases filedata before your connection delegate get called.
