[Linux] Use "wget" command to download file

We usually use wget command in Linux, its main purpose is to download resources on the Internet.

For example, if you want to download a picture today, you only need to copy the address of the picture.

And open your terminal:

wget "FILE_URL"

And then you are download this picture. After downloading, you can open the picture to have a look.

Is it convenient? We can also use this method to download file in remote server.

In order to facilitate future viewing, I will record the commands commonly used in wget below.

Record

This is the part that I think will be used frequently at present, not all commands. If there is a command you need, you can use "wget -h" to see if there is such a function.

If there are more frequently used functions in the future, I think I will update this article again.
