ArDrive CLIWorking With Files

Download a Single file (BETA)

By using the download-file command you can download a file on chain to a folder in your local storage specified by --local-path (or to your current working directory if not specified):

ardrive download-file -w /path/to/wallet.json --file-id "ff450770-a9cb-46a5-9234-89cbd9796610" --local-path /my_ardrive_downloads/

Specify a filename in the --local-path if you'd like to use a different name than the one that's used in your drive:

ardrive download-file -w /path/to/wallet.json --file-id "ff450770-a9cb-46a5-9234-89cbd9796610" --local-path /my_ardrive_downloads/my_pic.png
