UseInstead of using -o option to write to a file, use your shell to direct the output to the file:

curl http://mysiteexample.com/myfile.jpg > myfile.jpg

Use:

curl http://mysite.com/myfile.jpg > myfile.jpg

Instead of using -o option to write to a file, use your shell to direct the output to the file:

curl http://example.com/myfile.jpg > myfile.jpg

use `…` or a newline with 4 leading spaces for code block formatting.
