Using this, we can also change the type of the file. This is shown in the image below:. Wget also allows users to recursively download their files which is basically downloading all the files from the website under a single directory. For more information regarding Wget, users can input the following command into the terminal to get access to all the Wget commands that appear to be available:.
Curl is another command line tool that can be used to download files from the internet. Unlike Wget, which is command line only, features of Curl are powered by libcurl which is a cross-platform URL transfer library.
Curl not only allows downloading of files but can also be used for uploading and exchanging of requests with servers. However, Curl does not support recursive downloads which Wget offers.
Similarly, like Wget, Curl comes pre-installed with most of the Linux Distributions. This can simply be checked by running the following command:. Just like Wget, Curl has multiple features incorporated inside of it. The most basic is its ability to allow users to download files from a single URL from the internet. For better understanding, we will be downloading a simple image in the png format from the internet just like in the case of Wget. It will download the file with its original name in the directory you are in.
It will be a good idea to provide custom name to downloaded file. Suppose you are browsing an FTP server and you need to download an entire directory, you can use the recursive option.
Yes, you can totally do that. You can mirror an entire website with wget. By downloading an entire website I mean the entire public facing website structure. If you aborted the download by pressing C for some reasons, you can resume the previous download with option -c. Like wget, curl is also one of the most popular commands to download files in Linux terminal. To install curl on Ubuntu and other Debian based distributions, use the following command:.
If you use curl without any option with a URL, it will read the file and print it on the terminal screen. It is simpler to download multiple files in Linux with curl.

It connects and logs into the specified remote machine, and switches to an interactive command mode where user can execute various commands. Although, passwords are used to authenticate users similar to the default SSH settings, but, it is recommended to create and use SSH passwordless login for simplified and more secure connection to remote hosts. Once you have logged into the remote host, you can run interactive sFTP commands as in the examples below:.
In order to upload a whole directory to a remote Linux host, use the put command. Therefore, first create a directory with the same name on the remote host, before uploading it from the local host, the -r does the magic, enabling subdirectories and subfile to be copied as well:.
To preserve the modification times, access times, and modes from the original files transferred, use the -p flag.
