Linux Learning: Curl and Wget commands

The curl and wget commands are tools under Linux that can be used to download files.

First, wget

Example 1:

wget Http://www.minjieren.com/wordpress-3.1-zh_CN.zip

The download file is saved to the current directory, and the file name defaults to the last/subsequent content of the URL, this is Wordpress-3.1-zh_cn.zip

Example 2:

Wget-o myfile Http://www.minjieren.com/wordpress-3.1-zh_CN.zip

With the-o parameter, you can specify a file name, specified here as MyFile

Example 3:

wget www.baidu.com

A index.html file is generated in the current directory

Second, Curl

Cases:

Curl-o http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u91-b14/jdk-8u91-linux-i586.tar.gz

The download file is saved to the current directory, and the file name defaults to the last/subsequent content of the URL, which is jdk-8u91-linux-i586.tar.gz.

Note that the-o parameter must be added, otherwise the file contents are displayed directly on the console.

Note: These two command tools, the Linux system is not necessarily the default, if not, you need to install. If it's under Ubuntu.

You can perform the following command to install

sudo apt-get Install Curl
