I'm trying to help someone out. They can't use internet explorer. They have some kind of problem. As a quick temp fix I want to download firefox for them.

Can I download a file from the internet without using any kind of software other than the windows command line?

The best way would be to get it on a flash drive and install it from that. I would also install a virus scan if there isn't one already.

You could also use Firefox Portable. Just use a USB key and the internet should be accessible.

cd \\
start iexpore.exe (or whatever broswer) http://www.mozilla.com

You are going to need a browser of some sort, best option would be to download it on to a flash drive then install it from there. Command line does not have it's own browser, only other option might be to connect to a FTP?

EDIT: Command line is a program of managing files, it is not "self sustaining."
