Is there a built-in command line tool for downloading files from the internet? I know there is wget for windows, which is fantastic piece of technology, but I am not allowed to install it :( I just need basic functionality - connect to a url and save contents to disk (or push to sdtout).

If inputting a HTTP request by hand is no problem then you can use telnet to connect on port 80. But Wget or cURL seem easier to use. | |||

If you have Firefox installed, then you can install the iMacros for Firefox addon even with only normal user rights. It is a browser automator. You can use it - among many other things - to download files via the command line. | |||

Via FTP there's an Aside from the ones mentioned already, I've found aria2 to be an excellent CLI downloading utility. It supports HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, Bittorrent and Metalink downloads. | |||
