Home Learn Linux Linux Answers Audio/Video I was wondering how do I tell wget where to save a file?
Answers
  • I think that the only way to tell wget where to download a file is to change thee directory to where you want the file to be downloaded, but I might be wrong.
    Hope this answers your question

  • `wget -P target_dir URL`

    i.e.
    wget -P junk http://www.linux.com

    will deposit index.html form linux.com into the subdirectory "junk"
