I can't download files by command
Download files with wget
Hello gentlemen of the community.
I have a problem. I've been using "wget" since June 2021 to download a file and since then everything has been fine. But this morn...
Hi Nancy,
Thank you for contacting me and I would like to know more about my problem.
Download via browser using the link generated by dropbox. The answer is yes.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2kpb6e3fs5wmigw/DADOS.7z?dl=0
The reason for using "wget" was to slow down user operations.
I have a batch file or *.bat that makes everything automatic.
1st download, unzip, move to the defined folder and finally delete the zipped file.
And this is the command I used normally and since last Sunday it stopped.
wget -q --no-check-certificate https://www.dropbox.com/s/2kpb6e3fs5wmigw/DADOS.7z -O DADOS.7Z
Thanks for helping me,

Marcos Paris To debug this, try running this with "-v" instead of "-q". That should enable more verbose output that should help identify the issue.
Good Greg-DB!
1) Changing the -q to -v, you have already validated the Dropbox link and located the path of the file "DADOS.7z"
2) We now know there was a 100% connection to Dropbox.
3) Here's the problem:
It asks to open the SSL certificate, but gives an alert protocol version. Unable to establish SSL connection and abort.
After that I tried removing the command "--no-check-certificate", but we have the same behavior described above.
It's a little deeper.
This was the execution response:

Resolving www.dropbox.com... 162.125.5.18

Thank you so much for your help and let's get there!!!

Thanks, that error indicates an issue establishing the TLS connection. Specifically, it looks like wget is attempting to use TLS 1.0, but
Thank you very much Nancy,
There was even an interaction com Greg-DB
To its success for circulation in 2022.
