wget retrieves files from the web. “wget” is a network utility to retrieve files from the Web using http, https and ftp, this are the most widely used TCP/IP based protocols.

It is recommended that “wget” should allow only “root” to use this, and no other users which are present on your cPanel server. To disable this do the following:

Login in SSH as root.

First, take a backup of “wget” by the command:

cp /usr/bin/wget /usr/bin/wget-bk

Now, execute the following command:

chmod 700 /usr/bin/wget

If you have fantastico installed on your cPanel server, it may have problems as fantastico uses wget to retrieve files, to overcome this problem you have to add the backup file of wget i.e; /usr/bin/wget-bk in fantastico configuration file.
