Curl¶

Download file FTP¶

curl -L -R -O ftp_full_server_file_address

You can open ftp://ftp.gnu.org/ in Firefox and Chrome without going to the Finder, which is what Safari does.

If you have a complete URL to download, use curl, as in

curl -L -R -O ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bc/bc-1.07.1.tar.gz

Do man curl or curl --help for more information. SO
