wget to console
Use the -O - option to output contents to the console.
wget -O - http://google.ca
Since the contents go to stdout, you can pipe it to a shell to execute remote commands:
wget -O - http://scripthost.local/fix_graphics.sh
Note: This is equivalent to using just curl http://google.ca.
Save to Directory
Use the -P to specify the prefix of the output file.
wget -P /tmp http://google.ca/
Saving an Entire Open Directory
To download an entire open directory from a remote server:
wget -np -r http://server/remote/dir
wget on FreeBSD
wget is available in ports under ftp/wget. If you don't want to compile it, you could just use fetch (1) to download files.
