Download a File

To download a file, send a GET request to the object.

1. To send REST API calls to Object Storage Classic, you need a valid authentication token. If you obtained a token less than 30 minutes ago, then you can use that token. Otherwise, get a new token as described in Get an Authentication Token.
2. Send a GET request to the object. Specify the authentication token in the x-auth-token header.

   Syntax

   curl -X GET \
     {accountRestEndpointURL}/{containerName}/{objectName} \
     -H 'x-auth-token: {authToken}' \
     -o {targetLocalFileName}

   Sample Command

   curl -X GET \
     https://myaccount.ocm.rack01.example.com/v1/Storage-myaccount/mycontainer/myobject \
     -H 'x-auth-token: AUTH_tk10d7cf10041726fa2e64652d975bbab0' \
     -o myfile
