Syntax of Wget for windows

Does anybody know syntax for wget command in windows. I tried its basic syntax but the problem is file gets downloaded in the directory on which I have opened command prompt. I want to know whether we can explicitly specify destination in its command. If possible then let me know that would be much helpful for me.

According to the manual -O, --output-document=FILE write documents to FILE.

So you must give a file name after a valid directory as such:

C:\cronjobs>wget -q -O C:\Users\Public\Documents\tmp1.txt "http://google.com/"

note: -q option is to say quiet but -O is to say save file to a given file name and it will work!

If anyone reading this wants to save files downloaded to a directory, use "-P".

Example:

wget LINKHERE -P %USERPROFILE%/Downloads

This saves whatever is served by your link to C:\Users\username\Downloads.

Sure you can.

Use the -O syntax, and the path to use.

I've just tested this with:

C:\users\julien>wget google.com -O "C:\here.html"

And "here.html" was google's index page on the root of my "C:" drive
