August 11, 2022 by Magenaut

How to wget a file to a remote machine over SSH?

August 8, 2022 by Magenaut

I’d like to basically pipe a wget command to a file on a remote server over SSH. How can I do this? I know I could simply ssh into the server and have it download the file, but I’d much rather use the local machine to download it and send it.
