um, you download from a webserver, and upload to one.
wget or curl can be used to download a file from a webserver.
uploading a file TO a webserver requires more infromation, such as what
upload protocols and authentication does the server support/require?
one method that can be used is DAV aka WebDAV, cadaver is a command line
WebDAV client included with CentOS.
If I'm dealing with a webserver I manage I more frequently use scp
and/or rsync to move files to/from the server, this typically requires
user credentials suitable for a ssh login on the server
$ scp user at hostname:path/to/filename localpath
or
$ scp path/to/localfile user at hostname:path/to/remote
exchange ssh key credentials first so no password is required.
