The difference between -o and -O in the curl command is in how the output file is named:
-
-o <filename>: This option allows you to specify a custom filename for the output. You can choose any name you want for the file.Example:
curl -o myfile.txt http://example.comIn this case, the content will be saved to
myfile.txt. -
-O: This option saves the output using the same name as the remote file. It takes the filename from the URL and saves it directly.Example:
curl -O http://example.com/file.txtHere, the content will be saved as
file.txt, which is the name of the file in the URL.
In summary, use -o for a custom filename and -O to save the file with its original name from the URL.
