VPS| download a file stright to server?

[roywoodall]

Is there a way to download a file from the internet stright to the ftp? instead of downloading the file to my computer and then uploading it to my server?

You can use the 'wget' command vis the SSH to download the file straight to the server.
To use SSH in windows you can use software like Putty.
After you connect via SSH you need to navigate to the directory you want the file downloaded to using the command 'cd':
Example:

cd FOLDERNAME

Here 'FOLDERNAME' is the directory you want the file to be downloaded to.
Once in the directory use 'wget' to get the file:

wget http://URL-to-the-file

here 'http://URL-to-the-file' is the full link to the file you want downloaded.
