dlGeneric: Download file from generic source url

In PredictiveEcology/reproducible: Enhance Reproducibility of R Code

Download file from generic source url

Description

Download file from generic source url

Usage

dlGeneric(url, destinationPath, verbose = getOption("reproducible.verbose", 1))

Arguments

url	The url (link) to the file.
destinationPath	Character string of a directory in which to download and save the file that comes from url and is also where the function will look for archive or targetFile. NOTE (still experimental): To prevent repeated downloads in different locations, the user can also set options("reproducible.inputPaths") to one or more local file paths to search for the file before attempting to download. Default for that option is NULL meaning do not search locally.
verbose	Numeric, -1 silent (where possible), 0 being very quiet, 1 showing more messaging, 2 being more messaging, etc. Default is 1. Above 3 will output much more information about the internals of Caching, which may help diagnose Caching challenges. Can set globally with an option, e.g., ⁠options('reproducible.verbose' = 0) to reduce to minimal⁠
