.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm fetch
|
|
allows a user to transfer files from a remote network site using
|
|
either the
|
|
.Em ftp
|
|
or the
|
|
.Em http
|
|
protocol. In the first form of the command, the
|
|
.Ar URL
|
|
may be of the form
|
|
.Em http://site.domain/path/to/the/file
|
|
or
|
|
.Em ftp://site.domain/path/to/the/file.
|
|
For compatibility with
|
|
.Xr tftp 1
|
|
the form
|
|
.Em site.domain:/path/to/the/file
|
|
is also accepted.
|
|

|
|
.Fl l
|
|
flag), the
|
|
.Em file:/path/to/the/file
|
|
URL form is used.
|

The second form of the command can be used to get a file using the
