CMD command to download a file












-2















I'm looking for a cmd only command that will allow me to download a file.



No bitsadmin, no powershell, no .vbs scripts.



My own research has lead me nowhere, there only seems to be things about bitsadmin, powershell, .vbs, downloading a curl program etc

    Newer Windows 10 versions has curl binary pre-installed. Another program is aria2 (cross platform).

    "Download a file" term is too general. Specify a protocol.. at least... And why so restrictions - no scripts?

    Why are there such restrictions? Are you on an ancient pre-Vista OS? If yes then you shouldn't even connect the PC to the internet
