Serve side file download

Hi, all:

I have a questions: is it possible to download fild directly on sever side. Normally, you need to download a file on your own computer and upload the file to your server. But I want to download the file directly on the sever.

thanks

Harry

If you have shell access to the server and it is a Linux box, wget is your friend.

If its a windows server you could just use the browser to download the file on it?

It depends what the server is really and what access you have.

it is a windows sever.
