Not sure what keeps you from trying what you already have in your post. What be its result? man curl (linux):
Quote:
-O/--remote-name
Write output to a local file named like the remote file we get. (Only the file part of the remote file is used, the path is cut off.)
The remote file name to use for saving is extracted from the given URL, nothing else.
Consequentially, the file will be saved in the current working directory. If you want the file saved in a different directory, make sure you change current working directory before you invoke curl with the -O/--remote-name flag!
You may use this option as many times as the number of URLs you have.

--remote-name-all
This option changes the default action for all given URLs to be dealt with as if -O/--remote-name were used for each one. So if you want to disable that for a specific URL after --remote-name-all has been used, you must use "-o -" or --no-remote-name. (Added in 7.19.0)
