Thanks for the quick response Daniel ...

I should have been clearer. So I'll try again -- given that I still am
not able to download the file.

I'm trying to download a file from a webpage using command line cURL, as
follows:

Here's the target webpage, which I believe has embedded javascript
https://198.204.142.102/PDD
Here's the file that I want to download
mbs052004.zip

Here's the command-line command that I executed curl
https://198.204.142.102/PDD/mbs052004.zip

This doesn't work for me .... I receive a file with an HTTP 404 message
.. not what I wanted ... I wanted the file ... anyone know what I'm
doing wrong ???? or maybe I'm missing something ????

thanks again,
