Mitto Steps
Create a job using the "File Download" plugin:
Default job setup
URL to download
Put in the URL of the file you wish to download.
curl Arguments
Click "Advanced" to add curl arguments.
These are the default arguments:
-s -b /tmp/cookies -L -O -f
You can add to these arguments as necessary.
Downloaded file location
The file you download ends up in Mitto's file manager.
File naming
By default, Mitto uses the -O flag which will create a file in Mitto using the file name of the source file. If you would like to rename the file, remove the -O flag and add -o {new name of file}.
For example, let's say you are downloading a file named daily.csv. Keeping the Mitto default would download the file and keep the same name. However, removing the -O flag and adding -o daily_metrics.csv would download the file and rename it to daily_metrics.csv.
