Download using curl and redirect question_please help
Basically I am needing to Download (using curl) in the background some data from(link here), with stderr redirected to /dev/null, to a file named taxcode

I was doing this,
curl & http:// name here/download/pls/Title_26.txt 2> /dev/null > taxcode
but the results were not what I was after.

Any input on what I am doing wrong or what I should be using as commands to make this work is greatly appreciated.
