What is snarf FOR LINUX?

Snarf

Snarf is a cool command-line tool you can use to grab URLs. It has some neat features that make it stand out!

What is Snarf?

So, Snarf is a handy utility that works a lot like wget, curl, and other similar tools. The best part? It's super small, which makes it perfect for rescue disks when you need something lightweight. Plus, it's packed with features! You can use it for FTP and HTTP resume, handle authentication, follow redirects, and even work with proxies and SOCKS. Pretty impressive, right?

How to Use Snarf

If you've got a URL like http://foo.bar.com/picture.jpg, using Snarf is as easy as typing this in your terminal:

$ snarf http://foo.bar.com/picture.jpg

This command will fetch the file and save it on your local machine as picture.jpg. Want to save it under a different name? No problem! Just add the new name like this:

$ snarf http://foo.bar.com/picture.jpg background.jpg

This time, it'll save the file as background.jpg. If you want to send the file directly to standard output instead of saving it, just type:

$ snarf http://foo.bar.com/picture.jpg -

The dash tells Snarf to send everything it gets straight to your screen!

What's New in This Release?

This update fixes two old bugs related to following redirects and improves FTP behavior for tricky servers. If you're using any version of Snarf greater than 2.0, just run:

snarf LATEST

This will upgrade your version easily.
