Thanks for your hints. But you can see the following explanations in the
curl documentation:
-O/--remote-name Write output to a file named as the remote file
Furthermore, in my case the destination folder, i.e, ./miktex/setup/,
already exists there, so I shouldn't trouble the --create-dirs option. I
only want to put the setup-2.9.4321.exe in the destination folder without
giving the destination filename, i.e, let curl use the filename appeared
in the remote site/webpage to name the downloaded file automatically.
Any hints for my purpose?
Regards
