Save file to specific folder with curl command
I don't think you can give a path to curl, but you can CD to the location, download and CD back.
cd target/path && { curl -O URL ; cd -; }Or using subshell.
(cd target/path && curl -O URL)Both ways will only download if path exists. -O keeps remote file name. After download it will return to original location.
If you need to set filename explicitly, you can use small -o option:
curl -o target/path/filename URL
This option comes in curl 7.73.0:
curl --create-dirs -O --output-dir /tmp/receipes https://example.com/pancakes.jpg
