WGET question when downloading a file

[pc_doctor]

Hi,

I was just wondering, how I could download a file append the file name and directory append it.
I.e I want to download this: gpo.zugaina.org/AJAX/Ebuild/2386214 and call it gcc-4.6.1.ebuild within x directory.

I tried

sudo wget gpo.zugaina.org/AJAX/Ebuild/2386214 -O gcc-4.6.1.ebuild --directory-append=/usr/local/portage/sys-devel/gcc

however it would only download to the current directory.

What am I doing wrong?

According to the wget man page, you need to append the -P option.

Exaple:

sudo wget gpo.zugaina.org/AJAX/Ebuild/2386214 -P /pick/your/directory

I just tried it, and it works.

Hi, yes, but you cant get wget get to rename 2386214 to be gcc-4.6.1.ebuild with that because you need the -O

I'm not sure about that one, as I don't use wget very often. I've seen multiple posts in various forums that this isn't easy to do with just one command.
A possible solution would be to employ a double ampersand (&&) and rename after.

sudo wget gpo.zugaina.org/AJAX/Ebuild/2386214 -P /pick/your/directory && mv /downloaded/file /new/name/file

Might not be what you're looking for, but I hope that helps.
