Hi There is an easy way: wget somefile cat somefile >> filetoappendto If you want to do it automatically, then use the following wget somefile --output-document=/tmp/wgetbuffer & cat /tmp/wgetbuffer >> filetoappendto & rm /tmp/wgetbuffer all of it on one line in a script or on the commandline How does this work? The system executes the first command, and if it succeeds (errorlevel 0), then it will execute the second, and so on. This is handled by the ampersand operator the instruction cat /tmp/wgetbuffer >> filetoappendto will copy the downloaded file and add it to the end of the already existing file filetoappendto. Note that > is not the same as >>. The > means replace contents or create file, and the >> means add contents or create file.
