I am now trying to learn wget by testing on my own site.
index.html is my home page
it is hosted at yahoo


I used wget as below;

wget -o /home/teabear/Documents/test/testfile --http-user=deleted by me --http-passwd=deleted by me http://www.pmcomputing.org/index.html

and got the following output in /home/teabear/Documents/test/testfile ;

--09:03:09-- http://www.pmcomputing.org/index.html
=> `index.html'

What might this mean. It would seem I am heading in the right direction but I haven't been able to find "index.html" (the home page of my site) saved anywhere yet locally and am starting to get lost in the man pages

Thanks for any replies,

If you don't specify a directory for it to be saved to, its going to place it in your pwd (present working directory) where you ran the wget command.

it will be in your current directory.

Doh!
My retardedness.

Thank you very much for your help,

When is a page time stamped? Is it upon being updated?

Is my understanding correct that using the <-N> option with wget could keep a web page from being saved by wget if it has not been updated since a certain time?

Thank you for your replies,

<Edit>
Ok some trial and error has answered this question I think, but I am sure I'll be back when it comes to putting it all toghther.

Thanks again for the help,
