Pulling a file from Unix box thru https
Hi

I have a file called as MSD.DAT. This file is present at a directory on a server.

www.ta.ibhsv.somewhere.com/rahdf/MSD.DAT

Now, I want to get this file from this server to my Linux box. I need to write a script that uses https to get the file.

Please help how to achieve this.


Thanks

Choose 1 of cURL, wget, links, lynx, w3m, LWP::Simple, or one of netcat or telnet via stunnel.

Also, this site has an excellent search engine, eg. searching for "download file via http" gives a lot of results.

Thanks for your reply.
I am a newbie to this.

Can you please let me know if there is any prerequisites to use CURL or WGET
like cetificates,keys etc .

Usually, none. You might have to play around with the command line switches if you happen to contact a server whose certificate isn't signed by a well-known authority, but you'd best refer to the man pages for that.
