UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Hi
I'm trying to download an xml file from a https server using curl on a Linux machine with Ubuntu 10.4.2

I am able to connect to the remote server with my username and password but the output is only "Virtual user <username> logged in".
I am expecting to download the xml file.

My output file is created with only the above line. I have tried using verbose and trace but can't see any issues. So I'm assuming I'm missing something in my command or I can't download the file with curl. Trying looking on the net but all the examples suggest I'm doing it right.

This is the command I'm using
curl -O --user username [servername]/file/to/get.xml
(removed credentials and server details for security. )
servername starts https://

This is what I get with verbose
.

Any help to understand what I'm doing wrong will be much appreciated.
Thank you!!

It prints the file to terminal because you haven't redirected it anywhere else.

Code:

curl ... > filename

You could also try wget, if you have it, which by default saves to the filename given in the URL itself.

Hi Corona,
Thanks for response but same issue.

Redirect simply outputs "Virtual user xxxxx logged in" to the redirect file.

Same behaviour when I use wget i.e message Virtual user .... in save file

Only the maintainer of the server could tell you why it outputs that instead of the data you want.

Ok, I will raise issuse with server maintainer.
Thanks
