Use GNU wget.  That's exactly what it does and you can get it from any
GNU mirror.

okay, here's what i want to do:
I want to either write a script or program that will run and grab a
publically accessible (via a web browser) .html file from a host and save
it on our unix machine.  This has to be done by logging in anonymously to
their web server but that means i don't have access to their directory so
a simple script won't work.  Is there any small programs out there that
will just grab a file(.html) and bring it back? Or do i have to start
learning to write internet socket calls????  Any help, suggestions would
be appreciated.
