If you are on your home computer, why not just save the file to your computer and upload it via FTP or SFTP?

before you can download from one machine to another, you have to log in to one of the remote computers and issue the command from there.

You cant for instance be on your home computer and use wget to copy a zip file from the internet to your webserver. To do that you must first log into the remote webserver and issue the wget command from there.

I tried that but I'm still lost.

I've tried this..

$ wget http://123go.dothostpro.com/images/jp2/Yoko_K007.jpg O-http://mywebsite.com/wget/Yoko_K007.jpb

but I get the error message "No such file or directory"

I've also tried the simple...

$ wget http://123go.dothostpro.com/images/jp2/Yoko_K007.jpg

but I always end up with the error message "failed: permision denied"

I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I even used my FTP program on my desktop and made sure the "wget" folder in the location "ftp://sitemane/html/wget" was write enabled with "777"

Here are some examples of how to use wget. They should help you do what you want.

-Change directories if needed with the cd command.
-Start the transfer mput filename.mov to the remote site.
-Once the transfer is complete, type bye and you are done.

The first step is the problem.
I can't login to playstation.com because I don't own the site.
My apologies for being a noob and not wording things clearly.

I think I can reword this so it makes sense now though, so bear with me.

Let's say my website is http://www.JapanIdols.com and I have SSH access to it.
I want to download the ".jpg" file at this location [URL=http://123go.dothostpro.com/images/jp2/Yoko_K007.jpg] to my JapanIdols.com website.

How can I do this?
I'm pretty sure I can use wget to accomplish this and I do have wget on my server. I'm just having trouble figuring out how to tell wget where to download the file to on the server.

You can also use ftp. Here is how:
