I just installed Wget using Termux on my Android. But, when I download a file, I cannot find it's location. Can anyone please tell me where it's located? And how can I change that location to my desired directory?

To quote Izzy,
wget
usually downloads to where you called it from – unless told
otherwise using the-O
parameter. So you either firstcd
to the
desired directory – or try something likewget -O
.
/sdcard/downloads/foo.zip http://example.com/foo.zip
In your case, this directory is /data/data/com.termux/files/home and, as it's inside /data, only root and the files' owner can alter things here.
Since Termux is the owner, though, you can move, copy and delete files and folders inside the abovementioned directory.
If you run Android Marshmallow (6.x) or above, run termux-setup-storage
and grant the requested permission to be able to interact with anything inside /storage/emulated/0.
To move files to e.g. the standard download directory, use the command mv source destination
, replacing source
with the file you wish to move, and destination
with /storage/emulated/0/Download
, which is the default download directory located in your internal storage.
To copy files to e.g. the standard download directory, use the command cp source destination
, replacing source
with the file you wish to move, and destination
with /storage/emulated/0/Download
.
To delete any file, use rm file
, replacing file
with the file you wish to delete.
To delete an empty directory, use rmdir directory
.
To delete a non-empty directory, use rm -r directory
. This method will delete anything inside the chosen directory.
In both cases, replace directory
with the directory you wish to delete.
