I tend to prepare my scripts for either of these, by saying:

wget <URL> || curl -L -O <URL>

curl supports of course more protocols, but then if you only need FTPS I haven't seen that explicitly mentioned by wget docs either. But I might err ...

or is there another alternative?

TIA



If you have the resources (i.e., disk space, etc.) install both.  No
need to decide unless you must.  Some applications (scripts) expect
wget, others like curl.  I would say curl is more of a requirement, wget
is more optional.   But that is in my experience, others might have
other experiences.

(This point of view is from a non-technical standpoint.  Looking forward
to reading what others have to say.)
