Hey everyone,
So, I’m trying to figure out how to use curl to download a file from a URL, but I’m kinda stuck. I’ve seen some examples online, but they’re either too vague or way too complicated for my level.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
`curl -O https://example.com/file.zip`
But I’m not sure if this is the right way to do it. Does the file save automatically to my current directory? Or do I need to specify a path?
Also, what if the file has a different name on the server? Can I rename it while downloading?
Any tips or examples would be super helpful! Thanks in advance, y’all.
P.S. Sorry if this is a noob question, I’m still getting the hang of curl to download a file. 😅
