Why this file do not get downloaded into a specified location?

I am downloading the file in this link. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and I used the below command to download it.

wget -p /home/ubuadmin/CUDA http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/5_5/rel/installers/cuda_5.5.22_linux_32.run

Below is my command line input and output.

root@ubuserver3:/home/ubuadmin# wget -p /home/ubuadmin/CUDA http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/5_5/rel/installers/cuda_5.5.22_linux_32.run

It says the download is completed but I can't find the file in that folder. I am accessing this server remotely using PuTTY, and using WinSCP to see the file structure. What has gone wrong? Why is it missing even it is downloaded?

The "p" needs to be capitalized. Keep in mind Linux is case sensitive in most aspects.

To set the target folder, use -P (upper case) instead of -p.

From man wget:

-P prefix

--directory-prefix=prefix

Set directory prefix to prefix. The directory prefix is the directory where all other files and subdirectories will be saved to, i.e. the top of the retrieval tree. The default is . (the current directory).
