I have similar a problem and have solved it by having my script call curl to list out the file(s) available for download and save that list in a file. Then the script loops through the list and downloads the files one by one.

I think you need a file name added to the directory path. e.g. -o "F:\Backup\website-db\outFile.sql.gz"

An alternative might also be to do this:

         cd F:\Backup\website-db\
         ...
         curl .... -O

where the -O option with use the file name of the file you're downloading.
