# 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.
```
rclone copyurl https://example.com dest:path [flags]
