The wget
command can be used to download files from HTTPS domains. By default, wget
will automatically verify the SSL certificate of the HTTPS site you’re downloading from, and will only download files if the certificate is valid.
To download a file from an HTTPS site, simply specify the URL of the file you want to download after the wget
command. For example:
wget https://www.example.com/file.zip
This will download the file file.zip
from the domain www.example.com
using HTTPS. The downloaded file will be saved in the current directory.
You can also specify a different directory to save the file to using the -P
or --directory-prefix
option. For example:
wget -P ~/Downloads https://www.example.com/file.zip
This will download the file file.zip
from https://www.example.com
and save it in the ~/Downloads
directory.
