In the past I’ve had was able to download files by using wget on the remote machines through powershell.

$server =([System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByName(($env:computerName))).Hostname
$path = "C:\folder\"
$share = "PROGRAMNAME"
New-Item -Path C:\folder\ -ItemType directory  
New-SmbShare –Name "PROGRAMNAME" –Path "C:\folder\" –Description ‘PROGRAMNAMEFolder’ –FullAccess "Administrators" –ReadAccess "Everyone"
Copy-Item "\\remoteserver\PROGRAMNAMEfolder\*" -Destination "\\$server\folder"  -recurse -Force
Start-Sleep -Seconds 5

#Download PROGRAMNAMEfrom WEB
Start-BitsTransfer –Source  'https://URL/PROGRAMNAME.exe'  -Destination $path
Start-Sleep -Seconds 5

```
c:\folder\PROGRAMNAME.exe /S
```

here i am able to copy a folder from a remote server that includes a .exe as well as download the same .exe from the website that has it. then run the installer
