How Do We Specify the download location with WGET Command?
January 01 2022
Often, download the packages or files from the different websites using the WGET command in the Linux distro. I would like to specify the location to save the file to the destination with a file name and extension.
-O, --output-document=FILE write documents to FILE
wget <URI> -O /path/to/file.ext
$ sudo wget http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/latest/jenkins.war -O /usr/share/jenkins/jenkins.war
-P prefix
--directory-prefix=prefix
Set directory prefix to prefix. The directory prefix is the
directory where all other files and sub-directories will be
saved to, i.e. the top of the retrieval tree. The default
is . (the current directory).
