Can i output multiple wget files into archive?

postcd · 10-09-2015, 06:16 PM

Hello, can i anyhow put (pipe?) multiple wget files

(wget -mk http://domain.tld/folder)
(wget -r http://domain.tld/folder)

into tar archive (tgz, zip ..) ?

I prefer if files are added into archive directly, not downloading all files to hdd, tarring and then deleting whole folder..

Thx

You can write to stdout from wget and read from stdin in tar. Is that your goal?

Can you kindly provide an example please

wget says:

Quote:

Cannot specify both -k and -O if multiple URLs are given, or in combination
with -p or -r.

Post the commands you are using.

FYI typically - is used to specify stdin or stdout. So use that where you need it instead of a file name.

hmm, i can see a potential glaring problem inherent to this notion,and that is where would the file names/directory tree come from if you are using stdout->stdin->tar ?
