A command to download a file other than Wget


My host allows limited access to SSH and Linux commands. However, I can't use Wget believe it or not.

I was hoping for something to download a file (.flv) from another server. Is there another command I can try?

If there isn't, I could probably make use of Python, Perl or PHP (favourite) to achieve a file download. Is it possible?


Solution

  • You can use the following command:

    curl -O http://www.domain.com/file.flv
