rmapi How to specify download directory for mget, geta, etc.

Is there a way to specify where mget downloads files to? I tried mget . ~/Downloads and the file was downloaded to my home directory, not Downloads.

-o outputdir

try rmapi mget -h

Do you mean rmapi mget path/to/file/on/RM -o ~/Downloads or rmapi mget path/to/file/on/RM -h ~/Downloads? Neither of those seem to save a file anywhere, although I don't get any errors from rmapi. Is there any documentation about what options are available for mget and geta? Sorry, I'm a beginner linux user.

Ok, I think I got it. It's mget -o outputdir path/on/RM. But it still has some unexpected behaviors. When I do mget -o ~/Downloads mydir/myfile it creates a folder called "~" in my home directory, then "Downloads/mydir/myfile.zip" under that. I expected it to create myfile.zip in ~/Downloads.
