MULTIPLE TRANSFERS WITH A SINGLE COMMAND LINE
As is mentioned above, you can download multiple files with one command line
by simply adding more URLs. If you want those to get saved to a local file
instead of just printed to stdout, you need to add one save option for each
URL you specify. Note that this also goes for the -O option.
For example: get two files and use -O for the first and a custom file
name for the second:
curl -O http://url.com/file.txt ftp://ftp.com/moo.exe -o moo.jpg
You can also upload multiple files in a similar fashion:
curl -T local1 ftp://ftp.com/moo.exe -T local2 ftp://ftp.com/moo2.txt
