I'm trying to acess my emails attachements using ̀w3m. When doing so, I managed to see the attachement content. However, I have no clue on how to have this file downloaded on my computer, wich is my main purpose.

Any ideas how to proceed ?

If you have the address of the file you should be able to do

wget address

If you have authentication issues try:

wget --http-user=USER --http-password=PASSWORD address

This may work depending on how the log-in is handled on the server side.

  • I can access it while being logged in, but I don't see a way to do so with wget (trying to access the adress via wget redirects me elsewhere). – merours Dec 30 '13 at 11:22
  • It is worth trying to send the wget request with the following options: --http-user=USER --http-password=PASSWORD (see edit above) it depends how the website handles the log in though. – Julian Stirling Dec 30 '13 at 12:06
  • I'll look into it, but is not w3m able do download files ? – merours Dec 30 '13 at 12:49
