With Lynx, how do I save a web page to my account or my computer?

In Lynx, to download a text file that you are currently viewing, press  p . If you want to download the HTML source file, type  \p . You will be given a choice as to how to you want the page printed:

• To save the file on your Unix account, choose the first option to save it to disk.
  
  
• To save the file on your local computer, you can use the "print to screen" option in conjunction with the log or capture file function of the communications program you are using, as described below:
  
  
  1. In Lynx, to begin the printing process, press  p .
  2. Highlight the "print to screen" option, but don't press Enter.
  3. In your communications program, start screen capture or logging.
  4. In Lynx, making sure that the "print to screen" option is still selected, press Enter.
  5. When the printout is done, turn off screen capture or logging. The file should now be on your local computer.

If you want to download a text file for which there is a link on the current page, select the link and press  d . Choose the option to save the file to the local disk, unless your local computer is running a program that can handle Kermit or Zmodem transfer. The "save to local disk" option will save the file to the account you are logged into. Or, if you can use the Kermit or Zmodem options, these will save the file to the computer you are using at the time. If the file you are downloading has HTML in it, the HTML will appear in the copy that is downloaded rather than being rendered.
