rclone copyurl

Copy url content to dest.

Synopsis

Download a URL's content and copy it to the destination without saving
it in temporary storage.

Setting --auto-filename will attempt to automatically determine the filename from the URL
(after any redirections) and used in the destination path.
With --auto-filename-header in
addition, if a specific filename is set in HTTP headers, it will be used instead of the name from the URL.
With --print-filename in addition, the resulting file name will be printed.

Setting --no-clobber will prevent overwriting file on the
destination if there is one with the same name.

Setting --stdout or making the output file name -
will cause the output to be written to standard output.
