Bash function to wget from user space in york

This can be placed in .bashrc and can be used to get a file from (your username abc500)

http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~abc500

(this is on unix0 in the web directory.

wgetyork ()
{
if [ -f "$1" ];then
rm "$1";
fi
wget http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~abc500/"$1"
}

it checks for the file because wget will save the file you download as filename.1 if you already have a file called filename. Call it using

wgetyork filename
