Hello,

I have created a link to share to a single file stored in NC; when I enter this link in any webbrowser I get a WebUI that allows me to download this shared file.

Now I want to download this shared file using wget.
However, the file type is HTML document, Unicode text, UTF-8 text, with very long lines (5536)

Can you please advise how to download the shared file ivpn.tar.gz correctly with wget?

I’m not sure about wget, but files with public share links can be downloaded with curl.

https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/user_manual/en/files/access_webdav.html#accessing-files-using-curl

When you do this with a share link, the username is the share token (random part of the URL) and the password is the password set on the share link.

curl -u sharetoken:sharepwd -o filename “https://my.domain.com/public.php/webdav/filename”
