wget & Slack patches
I have just installed Slackware 9.1 and I'm trying to download the latest security patches. I tried to used the following command to download all the *.tgz files in the directory.
wget ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackwar...packages/*.tgz Then I get the following output and error message. --01:27:27-- ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackwar...packages/*.tgz => `.listing' Resolving ftp.slackware.com... done.

man wget for more options of getting all files out of a directory, etc. |
