Post date: Jul 20, 2010 10:49:42 AM

As the ftp updates.oracle.com got retired, the following procedure can be utilized for downloading patches directly onto the UNIX servers.

* Login to "My Oracle Support"

* Search for the patch

* Go to the download page

* Click on "show details" link beneath the "Download" button

* Right click on the patch name and Copy URL

Then to download the patch using "wget" follow these instructions:

* Check "wget" command is available OR install it.

Run the following command using your My Oracle Support login and password:

wget --http-user=<username> --http-password=<password>--output-document=<filename> "paste the above copied address here in quotes"

Example:

wget --http-user=user@company.com --http-password=password --output-document=p6194129_60828_LINUX.zip "https://updates.oracle.com/Orion/Services/download/p6194129_60828_LINUX.zip?aru=9347149&patch_file=p6194129_60828_LINUX.zip&patch_password="

By this way one can download the patches faster and easier.
