That command will not do what you want it to. '-c' is for continuing a
failed download.
But I would recommend against doing a site grab, it does not guarantee
you will get all the files. You'll only get files that have a link from
another page on the site.
Your best option is to Tar the directory on the original server and
download that. If you're being hosted and do not have cli access, I
would ask the tech support to Tar it up for you - it only takes a few
seconds.

It would go to the current directory.
