Download file from generic source url
dlGeneric(url, needChecksums, destinationPath)
The url (link) to the file.
Logical indicating whether to generate checksums.
## TODO: add overwrite arg to the function?
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.
