Here is an example of downloading a file from a secure HTTPS server.Ĭurl -o transfer.log -k -l -c CSX -o “E:\\” -s -S cURL is very powerful and has very good documentation. Once that is done you will need to go do some reading. Secondly, if you want the S part of HTTP you need to install the Win32 OpenSSL libraries. cURL website has a link to “The ones that work” but I ended up just using the latest from Microsoft. First of all our favorite redistributes in the form of vcredist_x86.exe. To get all you can out of cURL you need to install a couple of bits on Windows. It comes as a command line tool and a library. Holy cow, that’s a ton of stuff! I use cURL mostly for HTTP and HTTPS stuff. curl supports SSL certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, HTTP form based upload, proxies, cookies, user+password authentication (Basic, Digest, NTLM, Negotiate, kerberos…), file transfer resume, proxy tunneling and a busload of other useful tricks. cURL, World Wide Web Command LineĬurl is a command line tool for transferring data with URL syntax, supporting DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, Gopher, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMTP, SMTPS, Telnet and TFTP. I’m constantly working with clients that require file movement in a secure manor. In one or two steps you have them installed and ready to rock. The two tools I’ll be chatting about today don’t fall under that category. Part of the problem is that a lot of OSS tools don’t work well on Windows or require some fiddling which can scare off some people. I’m still stunned in this day and age that people pay obscene amounts of money on tools that are easily replaced in most cases with quality and stable open source alternatives.
