To download a file using the curl<\/code> command on the Linux or Unix command line, you can use the following syntax:<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
curl [options]<\/span> [URL]<\/span> -o [filename]<\/span>
\n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For example, to download the file at https:\/\/www.example.com\/file.txt<\/code> and save it as file.txt<\/code> on your local system, you would run:<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
curl https<\/span>:\/\/www.example.com\/file.txt -o file.txt<\/span>
\n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In this example, https:\/\/www.example.com\/file.txt<\/code> is the URL of the file to be downloaded, and -o file.txt<\/code> specifies the output filename.<\/p>\n
