Some one has posted this code for a question. But on execution of this file the downloaded file is not saving in C drive rather a new txt file will be generating with name "C:\cat.txt"... I want the downloaded file will be stored in my desired location in hard drive.. can any one help me...

First, the default CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION accepts a FILE * and uses fwrite using whatever's been set with CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, so you don't need to override the function unless you're using curl as a Win32 DLL.

Also, you aren't checking the return from fopen, which may fail.

I suspect in this case that you either aren't recompiling your code, or are running a different binary from the one you built
