Write a bash script to download two files, say file1.gz and file2.gz from a given web address to the directory "assignment5"

Solutions

Expert Solution

Here is the code for the given script.

wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/file1.gz -P assignment5

wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/file1.gz -P assignment5

We will use the wget to download two files, say file1.gz and file2.gz from a given web address to the directory "assignment5".

Since this file actually does not exist in the link, I have also given an example of the actuall file which gets downlaoded to the assignment5 folder for demonstration purpose.

wget -P or --directory-prefix option is used to set the directory prefix where all retrieved files and subdirectories will be saved to.

Syntax is

wget linkaddressandfilenameattheend -P destinaionfolder

Wget is a popular, non-interactive and widely used network downloader which supports protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP.

Output (as file does not exist its gives error.

Example for Actuall working of code when the link is working just to show the code works:

wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.5.3.tar.gz -P assignment5

wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/file1.gz -P assignment5

File get downloaded on assignment5 folder.
