Download a file from command line in laravel artisan

How about this:

First identify the file which you want to download and then call

string shell_exec ( string $cmd )

you can use wget to get the file.

for example, in your command

    $fileName = $this->argument('filename');
    $file = url('storage/public/' . $fileName);
    shell_exec("wget $file");
    $this->info('downloading');
