--remote-name
Write output to a local file named like the remote file we get. (Only the file part of the remote file is used, the path is cut off.)
The file is saved in the current working directory. If you want the file saved in a different directory, make sure you change the current working directory before invoking curl with this option or use --output-dir.
The remote filename to use for saving is extracted from the given URL, nothing else, and if it already exists it is overwritten. If you want the server to be able to choose the filename refer to --remote-header-name which can be used in addition to this option. If the server chooses a filename and that name already exists it is not overwritten.
There is no URL decoding done on the filename. If it has %20 or other URL encoded parts of the name, they end up as-is as filename.
You may use this option as many times as the number of URLs you have.
