Short linux program to download files from the internet

Post by Helium5793 »

Today I am trying to locate a simple program in fb in linux to download files from the internet. I searched the linux section here but found nothing. Anybody have something like this they would share?

Thanks,
John

For something very simple, you could just use SHELL "wget http://blabla", provided wget is installed.
There' s also some libraries that can do that. Libcurl for example.

nettobac is based on the same routines as SNC, but has a more basic like API.

I got both methods working. For my particular use right now, wget worked just fine, but I am pleased to know about both methods.

Thanks for your help,
John
