URLtoFile 2.2.1 · Windows CLI

About

The origin, implementation, and security model of URLtoFile.

From 2005 to version 2.2.1

Jost Jahn originally released URLtoFile in 2005/2006 as a FreeBASIC command-line utility. Version 2.2.1 is a complete modern FreeBASIC rewrite with HTTPS, Unicode, and automated integration tests.

No GUI by design

The product is a focused Windows CLI. WinINet handles networking; temporary unique files and atomic replacement protect the final target.
