Curl vs wget:
Curl:
Is used to trasfer the data to a server .
Using the supporting protocols like:
File,FTP,FTPS,Http,Https,LDAP,LDAPS,PO
P3,SCP,SFTP,TELNET and SMTP
If you want to download file with curl command, then
you can use either the -o or -O option
https://dlcdn.apache.org/tomcat/
tomcat-10/v10.1.25/bin/apache-
tomcat-10.1.25.tar.gz
we can download multiple files by
using -o
curl -O [file1_address] -O [File2_address] -O
[file3_address]
If your downloading process is interrupted by any
reason then you a resume download process by using
the -C – option.
It is very useful for those people, who don’t have an
internet connection. Or internet connection drops
during the download of a large file. You don’t need to
download the same file from scratch you can continue
with the previous downloads.
Wget vs Curl:
Wget is a more specialized tool that is
designed for downloading files from
web servers. It supports a variety of
protocols, including HTTP, HTTPS, and
FTP.
Curl is a more general-purpose tool that can
be used for a variety of tasks, including
downloading files, uploading files, and
making HTTP requests. Curl supports a
wider range of protocols than wget,
including SFTP, FTPS, and SCP.
Wget:
Download a file to a perticular
directory
:
wget -P /opt/
http://centos.excellmedia.net/8.1.1911/isos/x86_64/C
entOS-8.1.1911-x86_64-dvd1.torrent
Use wget command to
download file and save
with different name
wget -O newfilename.extension
https://resource_address/currentfile.extension
Set downloading speed
limit by wget command
wget –limit-rate=1m
http://centos.excellmedia.net/8.1.1911/isos/x86
_64/CentOS-8.1.1911-x86_64-dvd1.iso
Send download in
Background with wget
command
wget -b
http://centos.excellmedia.net/8.1.1911/isos/x86
_64/CentOS-8.1.1911-x86_64-dvd1.iso
Use wget command to
download multiple files
wget https://file_resource/file1.gz
https://file_resource/file2.gz
https://file_resource/file3.gz
Download via FTP by
using wget command
wget ftp://ftp.example.com/file.tar.gz
