How can I download Rapidshare files (I have premium access) on my Ubuntu server? It doesn't have any GUI.

Use links, or lynx, two console web browsers. links is newer and more featureful; I'd try that first.

To install on Ubuntu, simply run

sudo apt-get install links

or

sudo apt-get install lynx

I know what you're looking for: http://code.google.com/p/plowshare/ There's deb package provided too.

If you know the URL for the file you need, use wget or curl.

curl http://path.to.file.com/myfiles/file.jpg -o ~/myfile.jpg

  • i think this will fail in one of two ways: a) there'll be no direct download link for the file (on a non-premium download, you access it with a button); or b) he'll need to supply login credentials to access a direct download link. i'm pretty sure curl can supply those credentials (tho i don't think wget can), but i don't know what those options would be ... and it'll depend on how rapidshare handles logins. any suggestions?

  • you can add custom headers with wget too, so you can include the cookies from a browser (this only a theoretical possibility, and depends on many details of the website)
