Downloading a file from Website to a Windows Folder
Hi,

Is it possible to download a file using Wget or some other command from a Windows machine?

Say I want to download something from
https server
to C:\ABC\abc.xls

Any ideas,

Thanks.

Well, it is always great when posters ask questions where they give incomplete information.

Is it so difficult to ask a question and provide all the information required for an answer?

Yes, that was something of a glaring omission!

Anyhoo, perhaps this helps?

Have google, will google:
