Download a file in Debian Console

Hi guys.

Just got myself a nice debian server which I'm ssh-ing into. Unfortunately, to get it all configged I need to download a tar.gz file to it. Namely this ISPConfig scripts

Anyone know how to do this?

Many thanks,

Well done with getting your server online.. To anser your question you do "wget http://filenamehere.com" that will download it to the root or home or ever where you set it to download. Theres a feature called apt-get which is very useful tool.. If you would like some help MSN me.. [email protected]

Thanks for that one Phil, worked like a charm

I've been using apt-get all morning to install web/mail/ftp/dns etc just a couple of packages weren't available

Is it a home server or a server in a datacenter?
