Can force download file in terminal?

Using the OS X Terminal instead of the Finder to copy files The Finder's abilities to copy files is usually adequate, but sometimes when managing large data transfers it can introduce some burdensome quirks.

Topher Kessler. July 6, p. There are many commands that can copy files, but the three most common ones are "cp" copy , "rsync" remote sync , and "ditto. These options can be looked up in the manual pages for each program, which can be done by typing "man cp" or "man ditto" in a Terminal window or doing a Google search , but for most purposes the following options should be adequate: cp -av rsync -av ditto -v Specify your source files With one of the above commands and flags typed, continue by typing a single space and then drag the parent folder of your source files to the Terminal window.

When you do this the full path to the folder will be input at the cursor along with a single space. No, thanks. Summary Files Reviews. Project Samples. Project Activity.

Tamlyn Tamlyn Did this. The file is nowhere to be found, not in my firefox's default download dir, and not under my home dir anywhere, not in Downloads not anywhere else. The file is not in the firefox bin dir or lib dir either. So has anyone actually used this, beyond just imagining how it ought to work. If so please share with us where the file went.

GeoffreyAnderson It's buggy on Firefox as you'd expect from Google these days. As far as I can tell, it works if you keep the focus in that tab when the download-progress-circle to the right of the filename is completing. You don't have to be in the tab the entire time it's downloading, but if you're in a different tab when the download completes its progress, the download doesn't happen, it just vanishes into the aether.

When I use the rm -f command to try to erase it, the files remain still there, with a new name a correlative value is added to the last number of the original name. The only one way I found to erase those files, is restarting the whole system.

But, I wonder if there is another "more smart" way to do it Is there??? When using rm , it's better not to start with -f unless you're totally sure what's what you want, because a it can remove files you may not want to remove such as read-only files without asking you, and b it can not remove files you do want to remove without telling you it didn't. That's because part of what -f does is to "ignore nonexistent files and arguments," so if the filename turned out to be subtly wrong, you'll think you removed the file when really there was no file of that name to remove.

Please, it is preferable to post this as a comment under the answer above because it goes in the same light as Eliah Kagan's comment. YufenyuyVeyehDider it can't be posted as a comment due to rights of the poster not enough cred yet to comment. It'll be in your bin then and you can empty the bin.
