(Only the file 21part of the remote file is used, the path is cut off.) 22 23The file is saved in the current working directory. If you want the file saved 24in a different directory, make sure you change the current working directory 25before invoking curl with this option or use --output-dir. 26 27The remote filename to use for saving is extracted from the given URL, nothing 28else, and if it already exists it is overwritten. If you want the server to be 29able to choose the filename refer to --remote-header-name which can be used in 30addition to this option. If the server chooses a filename and that name 31already exists it is not overwritten. 32 33There is no URL decoding done on the filename. If it has %20 or other URL 34encoded parts of the name, they end up as-is as filename. 35 36You may use this option as many times as the number of URLs you have. 37
