+<h1>knife download<a class="headerlink" href="#knife-download" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
+<p>The <strong>knife download</strong> subcommand is used to download roles, cookbooks, environments, nodes, and data bags from the server to the current working directory. It can be used to back up data on the server, inspect the state of one or more files, or to extract out-of-process changes users may have made to files on the server, such as if a user made a change that bypassed version source control. This subcommand is often used in conjunction with <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">knife</span> <span class="pre">diff</span></tt>, which can be used to see exactly what changes will be downloaded, and then <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">knife</span> <span class="pre">upload</span></tt>, which does the opposite of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">knife</span> <span class="pre">download</span></tt>.</p>

+<dd>Use <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--force</span></tt> to download files even when the file on the hard drive is identical to the object on the server (role, cookbook, etc.). By default, files are compared to see if they have equivalent content, and local files are only overwritten if they are different.

+<dt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-n</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--dry-run</span></tt></dt>
