Windows alternative to Linux “wget” with Powershell

Use this Powershell script to download a file via batch script in Windows:

$client = new-object System.Net.WebClient
$client.DownloadFile("http://www.xyz.net/file.txt","C:tmpfile.txt")

Then save it as meow.ps1.

If you want to run the script in Task Scheduler, use Action

powershell

with Arguments

-executionpolicy bypass -file c:yourpathmeow.ps1
