command to download a file from internet

ssharish2005 · 10-13-2009, 05:03 PM

Hey guys,

A quick question. Is there a command or a tool to download a file from the interent.
What i've got is a CGI script which compress a set of files trasfers the to me the client. The problem is the when i try to use the URL i get a pop-up windlow asking me were to save the compressed file.

But I am trying to automate this process. So i'm looking for something lile

iexplore <CGI url>. But this will bring the pop-box asking for the target folder were to save.

But isn't there a switch to tell iexplore to save the file at a particular location?

Thanks guys!
