With Lynx, how do I download a page, image, or program from the web to my account from the Unix command line prompt?

To download from the web using Lynx from the Unix command line prompt, enter: lynx -source URL > filename Replace URL with the URL of the page or image that you want to download. Replace filename with a filename that you want to give to what you are downloading. For example, if you are trying to download a web page at the address http://empire.gov/dvader.html, and you'd like to name the page on your account myhero.html, then you'd enter: lynx -source http://empire.gov/dvader.html > myhero.html

If you want to download a web page in formatted output (i.e., without HTML tags, but instead as it would appear in Lynx), then enter: lynx -dump URL > filename If there are any links on the page, the URLs for those links will be included at the end of the downloaded page.

At Indiana University, for personal or departmental Linux or Unix systems support, see At IU, how do I get support for Linux or Unix?
