I am downloading a file using the wget
command. But when it downloads to my local machine, I want it to be saved as a different filename.
For example: I am downloading a file from www.examplesite.com/textfile.txt
I want to use wget
to save the file textfile.txt
on my local directory as newfile.txt
. I am using the wget
command as follows:
wget www.examplesite.com/textfile.txt
Use the -O file
option.
E.g.
wget google.com
...
16:07:52 (538.47 MB/s) - `index.html' saved [10728]
vs.
wget -O foo.html google.com
...
16:08:00 (1.57 MB/s) - `foo.html' saved [10728]
