Hi,

I searched but didn't find a good answer to the following problem...

How can I download the files in the following directory: http://www.slackware.org.uk/msb/14.1/1.8/x86_64/base to a newly created directory in $HOME?

Code:

cd $HOME/your_dir
lftp -c "open http://www.slackware.org.uk/msb/14.1/1.8/x86_64/base; mirror"

You might have to install 'lftp'

Use the "-r" flag for a recursive grab. If you want to resume a previous one, add the "-N" flag. If you want to skip the directory structure you can use the "-nd" and "-np" flags.

eg:

Code:

wget -r -N -nd -np http://www.slackware.org.uk/msb/14.1/1.8/x86_64/base

This will dump the files into your CWD, so just cd into the directory before running it to dump the files there.
