Hello,

I am having troubles using wget to download .zip files, the problem is that wget is just downloading the index.html file, no the .sip file that I want.

I have tried several options like --level=0, --np -r, --no-parent, etc etc.

My command is something like:

wget -P/get --level=0 --load-cookies=my-cookies.txt -A.zip http://page.page.company.com/valid/t...e/last9876.zip --no-check-certificate

I am not getting any error, just something like:

100%[==================================================================>] 4,416 --.--K/s

12:51:46 (350.95 MB/s) - `/get/index.html?"http:%2F%2Fpage.page.company.com%2Fvalid%2Ftest%2Fanothertest%2Frelease%2Fwin_nlm_releas e%2Flast9876.zip"' saved [4416/4416]

but if I go th the folder /get I just have the html document.

Please help!!

try
You don't need to specify the -A .zip anyway. Or --no-check-certificate, and --load-cookies is expecting to find the cookie in the same directory as you are running the command from. Is it a netscape/firefox/IE cookie ? Do you need a cookie ?

If the site redirects everything to the front page then you're out of luck.

I tried both, with -A .zip and without it.
I am using --no-check-certificate, because if not I get a certification verification error and doesn't download anything.
I created my.cookies.txt with this command: --post-data='s-login=myuser&s-pass=mypwd' --save-cookies=my-cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies

I am using that because I have to login to the page. I also tried setting directly in the command the user and password.

and yes, seems that the login page redirects the another login page.

My page is like: http://page.page.company.com/ and redirects to https://page.page.company.com/ICSLogin/

So why are you using the http address instead of the https address in the wget command ?

I have tried with both. If I use https I get "ERROR: Certificate verification error for : self signed certificate in certificate chain"

to access the page manually I don't need https and I don't have to accept or add any certificate. =/

can you use curl to see where the .zip is actually sitting. If you are getting a .html file then the link is a redirect. Find out where the .zip is sitting.

The link you gave is no good. Post a valid link and I'll look.
