Using wget to grab tgz's in an index
« on: January 13, 2006, 06:00:09 pm »
ok, I have had no luck at ALL.

I want to grab the packages in this directory. Too bad I can't get wget to grab 'em.

Help please. I've tried almost everything. I want to grab them all in one swift command. :(

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I know it's possible, just set a filename and a directory name match, both of which you can find on wget's manpage.  You also want to use -r for recursive, obviously.  I'd figure it out, since I've done that before, but I don't have time right now.

I played around with practically every argument there was and to no avail.

I'll try again later.

I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

wget -r http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/pub/software/kde/stable/3.5/contrib/Slackware/10.2/

??

No, that'll download the entire site, mirror.cc.columbia.edu. 

I have a little time, I'll see if I can figure it out.

You're right, that's a tricky problem.  I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to just save the filenames and script it in Perl or Bash or something. 

But an easy workaround is this command:

$ ncftpget mirror.cc.columbia.edu /tmp /pub/software/kde/stable/3.5/contrib/Slackware/10.2/*.tgz

I know that's cheating, but eh? :)
