Windows
We can download files from websites in Windows from command line, like ‘wget’ command of Linux.
Using Invoke-WebRequest
We can use Invoke-WebRequest command
# In PowerShell
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://example.com/hello.txt -Outfile .\hello.txt
IWR -Uri https://example.com/hello.txt -Outfile .\hello.txt
# In CMD, we need to call `powershell` or `powershell.exe` command.
powershell Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://example.com/hello.txt -Outfile .\hello.txt
powershell IWR -Uri https://example.com/hello.txt -Outfile .\hello.txt
