I have a website I want to wget but the 'links' are actually options in drop downs. Is there a way to force wget to realize those are relative links and follow them all?

Btw, I'm trying to download my lessons for my online APCS class for offline access which is what keeps me from getting a lot my work done when moving around, traveling, etc. and I can't get access to the lessons.

Attached is the page I'm trying to start the wget from.

Hi there,

Please let us know the exact link that you are typing with wget.

Also the attached file looks like a source of a web page. Are you trying to say that when you wget it did not download the file instead show you this page. If that is the case let us know the full link.

I forgot to mention that. I can give you the link but it will tell you 4.03 forbidden unless I give you the cookie information to access it.

I have that information, I can connect and begin downloading fine. It just only downloads some folders from that page onwards since I am not sure how to tell wget those links are part of the things it should be crawling.

The source file is there to help show the structure of the page and what I was trying to say in the first post about the unique structure of the links.

Not sure if I have got your question correctly but what I can understand from your post is that you are trying to download a folder and it only download partial.

Try wget -rvx http://link

Well links aren't a issue so I'm just going to post a couple to explain the problem more. When you suggested didn't work not because wget doesn't work but I'm not sure how to configure it, or anything for that matter, to download what I want from this website

the link to a file that is likely forbidden for you, which is why it is probably not going to be of much help to the problem but it does show the folders. The first file I uploaded is at the root of educator_apcsa_v9 but because the 'links' (options in the drop downs) are not real links on the home page wget doesn't see the links. The way you navigate on that page is by selecting an option and the JS takes you there. Is there a way to tell wget to notice those links or will I need to find some other hack to get around the fact that it can't see the options? hopefully I don't need to specify each directory ...

nvm. I guess I just was being too lazy. All I need to do is select each directory for download. Doesn't take that long and if I wanted to be really lazy a shell script could do it for me. I'll mark this solved.
