        curl ftp://cool.haxx.se/ http://www.weirdserver.com:8000/

  Get a file off an FTPS server:

        curl ftps://files.are.secure.com/secrets.txt

  or use the more appropriate FTPS way to get the same file:

        curl --ftp-ssl ftp://files.are.secure.com/secrets.txt

DOWNLOAD TO A FILE

  Get a web page and store in a local file:

   It is just like for FTP, but you may also want to specify and use

   SSL-specific options for certificates etc.

   Note that using FTPS:// as prefix is the "implicit" way as described in the

   standards while the recommended "explicit" way is done by using FTP:// and

   the --ftp-ssl option.

 HTTP

   The HTTP URL doesn't support user and password in the URL string. Curl

        curl -U user:passwd -x my-proxy:888 http://www.get.this/

 curl also supports SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 proxies with --socks4 and --socks5.

 See also the environment variables Curl support that offer further proxy

 control.

  transfers faster. If you use a http proxy for file transfers, practically

  all transfers will be persistent.

MULTIPLE TRANSFERS WITH A SINGLE COMMAND LINE

  As is mentioned above, you can download multiple files with one command line

  by simply adding more URLs. If you want those to get saved to a local file

  instead of just printed to stdout, you need to add one save option for each

  URL you specify. Note that this also goes for the -O option.

  For example: get two files and use -O for the first and a custom file

  name for the second:

    curl -O http://url.com/file.txt ftp://ftp.com/moo.exe -o moo.jpg

  You can also upload multiple files in a similar fashion:

    curl -T local1 ftp://ftp.com/moo.exe -T local2 ftp://ftp.com/moo2.txt
