I don t think you can give a path to curl  but you can CD to the location  download and CD back   cd target path  amp  amp    curl -O URL   cd -      Or using subshell    cd target path  amp  amp  curl -O URL    Both ways will only download if path exists  -O keeps remote file name  After download it will return to original location   If you need to set filename explicitly  you can use small -o option   curl -o target path filename URL

curl doesn t have an option to that  without also specifying the filename   but wget does  The directory can be relative or absolute  Also  the directory will automatically be created if it doesn t exist   wget -P relative dir   url   wget -P  absolute dir   url
