    force wget to use a different file name for what it downloads?

    Hi
    Thank you for reading my post
    Is it possible to force wget to use a custom file name when it download a file?

    for example to download the www.aaa.com/file55.zip to /home/legolas/f55.zip ?

    Thanks.

    You could just do something like this in terminal, downloading and renaming it in one command:

    Code:
    wget http://www.aaa.com/file55.zip && mv file55.zip f55.zip
