I occasionally have need to download a backup from an instance where I can’t ssh. Pulling 2GB down over my home internet connection where speedtest.net claims I get almost 500Mbps down isn’t that painful, but pushing it back up a 20Mbps is. I thought that I might be able to use curl and pass an API…

Yeah, sounds familiar. I made this a few years ago. Haven’t used it in a while though so I’m not sure if it still works without modifications.

Wow! My dreams (maybe) answered! Thanks, Michael. I guess I should have searched a bit harder.

Why not just SCP server to server? It uses SSH, will allow transfers that don’t hit your local line, and is already present on every host.

I just had this problem too trying to pull a backup from a machine that was not my machine (so no SSH access). It was further complicated as I use Brevo as the email provider and they mangle the link to redirect to their own server for tracking. For the backup emails, it might be useful to explicit…

You will still need to login otherwise the link won’t work either.

Is there a simple way to ‘login’ via the commandline of a remote machine before issuing the wget to download the backup?

Did you try my script in the second post?

Baixe o backup com `curl` ou `wget`

Por que não apenas um servidor SCP para servidor?

Ele usa SSH, permite transferências que não passam pela sua linha local e já está presente em todos os hosts.
