Ok my friend has a server such as www.blahblah.net/blah/Music and i wanna download everything from there in the Music folder. But if i use Firefox or mozilla.....etc I have to download the file one by one.....which is really really annoying especially when you have 50+ files that you gotta download. Does Anyways know a good program for doing this i check out Downloader for x and its really really stupid...... it doesnt work.....Is there any other program other than that? Thanx!!!!
change the mp3,ogg string and add all the file extensions you want to download (perhaps you need to add zip, wma, rar, gz, tgz ...), or quit the -A switch if you want to download all the files.
wget is a free utility for non-interactive download of files from the Web. It supports HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols, as well as retrieval through HTTP proxies.
If you know all the files you want to download, you can just stick all the URLs in a file and just call wget -i file-with-urls.txt, and wget will download all the URLS in that file.
Ok thanx guys i had to add --http-USER=NAME and --http-PASS=pass Anyone Know perhaps a GUI version or a different program thats gui cuz i used GWget2 something like that and it SUCKS!!!!!! I would just like to see it download it instead of using this.......But wget is pretty good little program Thanx~!!1!!!
Ok well gftp doesnt do it i keep getting password wrong for some reason? And i wanna login into www.balh.com/blah not www.blah.com is it was just www.blah.com it would work but becuase its /blah it doesnt work. Maybe its becuasse im using the unstable version of gftp but it doesnt work like that and if i type under address http://www.blah.com/blah/Music it usually pops up and askes me again for the password then it says it wrong. OR it will say gftp doesnt support that format Hopefully in the future version will beginning to support that. Sorry something like that!!!!
On the other Hand it worked i download all the Music files i need but.....heh where do they go I used wget last time as i was root and it just downloaded to /root but this time im a user. I check my home directory the directory i was in and i was unable to find the 345 files that i downloaded or it said were successfully downloaded. And trust me i think i would notice that many files if they wer in my /home/matt/ directory heh anyways anyone know where else it would download to? I looked to see if wget has a DOWNLOAD DIRECTORY but i couldnt seem to find one? Maybe i over looked?? Thanx for your Help!!!!!!
If you like a gui, use kfind or gnome-search-tool to find files created on the date you downloaded them, and with whatever extension they have. If you like the command line, use locate or find.
What if I need to put a password in? Like theres a page called register.php, and when I put the URL in (http://bootlegs.weezernation.com/?di...ollywood,%20CA) it automatically downloads the files on the page bootlegs.weezernation.com/register.php? but not the music files?
Assuming you have a password I think the easiest way to do it would be with konqueror. Once you are logged in you can use a split window to drag the files across into the directory of your choice.
