About Webget

Webget is an Internet file-retrieval utility. From the command-line or run in a batch file or as an external process, it can retrieve any file from a webserver, secure server, or FTP server. Webget can also display a transcript of the conversation with the server, which can be a useful diagnostic tool.

Program Features

Can auto-resume retrieval and perform partial retrievals -- excellent for large file downloads
Automatically handles redirections if required
Performs Basic, NTLM, and Kerberos authentication
Can do GET, POST, and HEAD requests to web servers
Can retrieve from HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP servers
Displays complete transaction details -- useful for diagnosing connection problems

Using Webget

Webget is a command-line program, so you execute it from a DOS box or from the Windows Run command. As a command-line tool, it is designed for easy integration with other software or processes -- it can be run automatically from a batch file, or by executing it as a separate process from within another program.

Running Webget with no parameters displays a usage guide:
