download file from Internet to server using SSH
You may use the wget
utility.
It has a really simple syntax, and all what do you need is to:
wget http://link.to.file
and it will be stored in the same directory where do you run wget
. If you'd like to store a downloaded file somewhere else, you may use -P
option, e.g.
wget -P /path/to/store http://link.to.file
Of course, use scp
. It behaves roughly like cp
. Sample:
scp username@hostname:/remote/path/to/file local_path
You can recursively copy directories with -r
That's if you really need to download it via ssh
. If they provide you just with an url (your question wasn't clear), then wget
or curl
will do the job, no need for ssh
.
Use ssh
to login to your server, then use for example wget
to download the file
wget https://provided_link
