Introduction wget is a wonderful tool, specially when you need to download files on remote servers / machines.

I am trying to recursively download the contents of a particular directory (via http from a web server) using wget.

Wget -i URLs.txt problem 26 weeks 3 days ago

Hi Everyone,

I have a problem with wget using an input file of URLs. When I execute this -> wget -i URLs.txt I get the login.php pages transferred but not the files I have in the URLs.txt file. I need to use the input file because it will have new products to download each week. I want my VA to fill that file with the URLs that we need to transfer to my server.

wget does not stop downloading 7 weeks 13 hours ago

I am downloading files from ftp using wget command. But due to power fluctuations download got interrupted and I resumed my download with wget -c option. It worked fine and completed 100%, but it did not stop downloading. It's still downloading.

When I resumed my download, it said 9.7 mb remaining (total file size is 11GB). What's going on here. Is it downloading from scratch ??

How do I download a file retrieved via a GET request? I tried wget http://www.example.com/?page=download&dl=123 and wget http://www.example.com/dl.php?dl=123, but they don't work. Going to the URLs in a browser works fine, but wget and curl don't. How can I download the file from the command-line?

wget --no-check-certificate -http-user=user http-password=password https://url.com

I'm getting this response :

Connecting to url.com|10.11.10.98|:443...

I'm using wget to mirror some files across from one server to another.

Sometimes it’s just not enough to save a website locally from your browser. Sometimes you need a little bit more power. For this, there’s a neat little command line tool known as Wget. Wget is a simple program which is able to download files from the Internet.

I'm getting familiar with the terminal commands, and I came across this command to install the Heroku toolbelt:

wget -qO- https://toolbelt.heroku.com/install.sh | sh

Now from here I gather that wget is used to download files from the internet through various supported protocols, and they'll download even if I logoff.

Is that right?

And I wanted to know two more things about that command :
