So I am aware of using wget to mirror a site...however, this site is a coldfusion page using virtual links and directorys (sorry if my terminology is wrong, I am not a CF guy). Ideally I would like to simply: wget -m -k -K -E --no-check-certificate --secure-protocol=auto --post-data 'userName=me&passwd=pass' https://my_ssl_site.org This actually does go out to the site and download everything (including PW protected pieces) that do not have "virtual" links (or is in a virtual folder). What I mean by that is, for example, an individual URL of a file to download may be: https://my_ssl_site.org/documents/doc_download.cfm?docID=23 which actually translates to the file: https://my_ssl_site.org/documents/my_target_file.rtf A normal web browser will translate this and then pop up the download box. Links and Lynx also will download these...if you step through the login and the certificate steps...this is not practicle for the couple hundred files I have to download. So my goal is not to neccessarily mirror the site...I was perfectly happy putting the above CF URL in a for loop with wget and just incrementing the docID 1-1000 or something like that. I don't need the folder structure. Any ideas out there on how to do a recursive download...or mirror...for a CF and SSL site with a password protected section where you need the POST data? Thanks. HippieJoe PS. I have already tried going to the physical folders (the translated CF paths)...these are not viewable or downloadable (is that a word?). Thanks again
