Remote Download with Linux Command Line

If you want to download a file at Internet, you can use a command line. I prefer use CLI "wget". With wget command line, I can download a file not only with my local computer, but with my remote computer. This is key factor of the advantage of wget. Someday, I forgot to download a big file. I remember it when I was at home. For a big file, it's impossible to download with my home computer. Not only limitation with my bandwidth, but limitation of time. I doubt, when I must go to office, the process was not completed yet. Therefor I decide to download with my office computer. To do this, The first think I must do is to login (with SSH, of course) to my remote computer (used Fedora 9) and then go to root user. At the prompt, then I run commond line like this : # wget -drc http://opensource.telkomspeedy.com/nusantara/3/i386/iso/Nusantara-3-i386-DVD.iso After this process, you can close your terminal. Don't worry, the process will still running on remote computer. If you not sure, you can try to login to remote computer again, then check the file size. Every time you check it, file size will increase. Rights. File will places at current directory with the directory name same with domain name. At current directory, you can see wget log file. In this log file, you will see everything about download process. (by. msmunir@batan.go.id)
