Thanks for your hints. But you can see the following explanations in the curl documentation: -O/--remote-name Write output to a file named as the remote file Furthermore, in my case the destination folder, i.e, ./miktex/setup/, already exists there, so I shouldn't trouble the --create-dirs option. I only want to put the setup-2.9.4321.exe in the destination folder without giving the destination filename, i.e, let curl use the filename appeared in the remote site/webpage to name the downloaded file automatically. Any hints for my purpose?
