Question

How to download a file through http on to a local folder on my server in jython(or python)

The below code might work

from urllib2 import urlopen
f = urlopen("http://some.server/some/directory/some.file")

But for this my Current working directory is changed.I want to be in the current working directory and download the file to any given path on my Server.

Answer 1

How about urllib.urlretrieve

import urllib
urllib.urlretrieve('http://python.org/images/python-logo.gif', '/tmp/foo.gif')

Answer 2

Use open(..., 'wb') to open the file where you like, urllib2.urlopen() to open the network resource, and shutil.copyfileobj() to copy from one to the other.
