If you have to download a file from the Internet on a Windows server, can certainly use the browser. But if the browser is rendering the file instead of downloading them, you may have to use the curl command which is already pre-installed on most Windows servers. Just open the command line. Here’s the the curl command to download a file.
curl.exe --output index.txt --url https://website.domain/index.txt |
curl.exe --output index.txt --url https://website.domain/index.txt

I changed password managers from LastPass to BitWarden the other day. Migrating your credentials requires exporting and importing a CSV file from one program to another. It was an easy transition. Everything seems to work. As you may be aware, LastPass decided to make their free account limited to just one device. Customers will need to choose which device to use, whether desktop or mobile. Not both. If you want it on multiple devices, you’ll need to fork up $3 per month. It is not that expensive, but there are other alternatives. A few recommend BitWarden. It will let you sync to all devices for free. It was an easy choice.
