Hi all, Though I don't have time to send tips anymore(not right now), i will try to send whatever valuable information I have from time to time.
$lftp http://www.openbsd.org/ lftp> mget *pdf lftp> quit LFTP is what wget should have done. ;) LFTP can talk HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, SFTP and so on. ;) There is no protocol it cannot talk. Whenever I struggled in vain to make wget understand simple things I now realize I should have simply used lftp instead. Heck, it was time wasted. ;) And job not done. Not nice. Anyway I don't wish that you go through the same troubles. LFTP can download recursively in mirror mode. This is useful for FTP mirroring but there i no reason why this can't work for HTTP. You can write a script or HEREDOC and invoke with lftp -f script.lftp $ cat script.lftp open -u user, pass ftp://host:port/path/ ls quit There is also a queue facility in which it does background transfers like wget -b. More later. Have fun. -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech web: http://gayatri-hitech.com SpamCheetah Spam filter: http://spam-cheetah.com _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
