How do i use the wget command to download a file?



  • The wget command can download a remote file from a website using the URL. In this case similar to curl, although curl as more features.

    To download a remote file use the -O option of wget

    $ wget -O bootstrap-salt.sh -L https://bootstrap.saltstack.com
