(Only the file +part of the remote file is used, the path is cut off.) + +The file will be saved in the current working directory. If you want the file +saved in a different directory, make sure you change the current working +directory before invoking curl with this option. + +The remote file name to use for saving is extracted from the given URL, +nothing else, and if it already exists it will be overwritten. If you want the +server to be able to choose the file name refer to --remote-header-name which +can be used in addition to this option. If the server chooses a file name and +that name already exists it will not be overwritten. + +There is no URL decoding done on the file name. If it has %20 or other URL +encoded parts of the name, they will end up as-is as file name. + +You may use this option as many times as the number of URLs you have. |
