"What’s the correct curl command to download a file?"
Hey everyone,
I’m trying to use curl to download a file from a URL, but I’m not sure if I’m doing it right. I keep seeing different flags and options, and it’s kinda confusing.
Like, do I just do `curl -O [url]` or is there more to it? Also, what if the file has a different name on the server—how do I save it with a custom name?
Any quick tips or examples would be awesome. Thanks in advance!
(Also, if there’s a better way than curl to download a file, lmk—but I’d prefer to stick with curl for now.)
Cheers!
