You would need to put the file somewhere in apache webroot, maybe in /var/www/ or somewhere like that. Then if you go to the webserver using a browser, you can find the file. right click, and 'copy link location'. Then paste this after the wget so it looks like this:

Code:

wget http://local.ip.server/file

to paste in terminal, use ctrl+shift+v.

The default location is /srv/httpd/htdocs (or /var/www/htdocs/)

Look in your /etc/httpd/httpd.conf for the DocumentRoot

Code:

DocumentRoot "/srv/httpd/htdocs"

thanks, that is helpfull, but last night i ended up with using scp after trying to set up ftp server. for some reason there were error in server greeting so after failing to fix that searched for ssh file transfer wich led me to scp.

oh btw for some newb like me (from wikiey):

Copying file to host and Copying file from host:

Code:

scp SourceFile user@host:directory/TargetFile

scp user@host:directory/SourceFile TargetFile
