Sorry. Could you explain the formatting. And which server to I use this? The with the current file? or the one I'm wanting the file to be on?

Anything I don't know about?
As far a files... I've been using the shell to tar the files of a domain to one file.
Now I'm wanting to pull them to the new server where I can un-tar them.
What's the command for this? Can't remember.
Is "wget http://www.domain.com/file
That's what I found so far.
But I'm getting a "forbidden" msg on my download. Hm...
Any better ways?
What about email? I have no idea here.

just to touch on the initial inquiry

This would require the path/folder where file.ext is located to be configured to be available in the webspace of www.domain.com (via Directory*, Alias, etc directives).
When you got the "Forbidded" error from wget session -- the above may already be configured -- but there may be some configuration needs to be tuned. Check your server error_log file for some ideas on this.
