wget input file and directory structure

Eddie1506 · 05-14-2009, 07:11 AM

Code:

start folder
|--zips
|   |--big
|   |   |--big1.zip
|   |   |--big2.zip
|   |--small
|   |   |--small1.zip
|   |   |--small2.zip
|--rars
|   |--big
|   |   |--big1.rar
|   |   |--big2.rar
|   |--small
|   |   |--small1.rar
|   |   |--small2.rar

Is this possible with wget?

Thanks!

Code:

wget -x -nH $link

should do the trick, where -x forces creation of directories and -nH don't create host directory, as www.mysite.com/.

Thanks! It works flawlessly.

I saw those options btw, but somehow I presumed they were only meant to be used with recursive downloading and not with an url list.

The -x option is not needed together with -r, since it is implicit in recursion, while the -nH option does its job even with recursion.
