Hi folks, FedoraCore2 ========== If I want to down a directory, say CCC from a website WEBSITE -> AAA -> BBB -> CCC Previously I used following command on terminal; $ wget -no--parent [url]http://www.xyz.com/AAA/BBB/CCC/index.htm[/url] then it will only download "CCC" /CCC/index.htm Now I use $ wget -np -r [url]http://www.xyz.com/AAA/BBB/CCC/index.htm[/url] It also downloaded the parent directories "www.xyz", AAA, BBB. Please advise the correct syntax/command line to be used. TIA B.R. satimis

Try using: $ wget -np -r -l 1 http://www.xyz.com/AAA/BBB/CCC/index.htm NB That's "-l 1" for "--level=1" which restricts the recursion level to one.

Hi 3Dave, Tks for your advice. Sorry $ wget -np -r -l 1 http://www.xyz.com/AAA/BBB/CCC/index.htm did not work. Directories www.xyz.com AAA BBB all copied. What I need is only CCC/index.htm B.R. satimis

Then why not just: $ wget http://www.xyz.com/AAA/BBB/CCC/index.htm ?

Hi 3Dave, $ wget http://www.xyz.com/AAA/BBB/CCC/index.htm will download all directories/folders above wget -m -c -np -nH --cut-dirs=2 -U Explorer http://www.xyz.com/AAA/BBB/CCC/index.htm Works for me only downloading BBB/CCC/index B.R. satimis

Check that you haven't enabled recursive downloading in your ~/.wgetrc or /etc/wgetrc. $ wget http://www.xyz.com/AAA/BBB/CCC/index.htm should download only index.htm, I've just tried it with this page and it just downloaded the page and nothing else. $ wget http://www.computing.net/linux/wwwboard/forum/26899.html --14:45:16-- http://www.computing.net/linux/wwwboard/forum/26899.html => `26899.html' Resolving www.computing.net... 69.93.141.100 Connecting to www.computing.net[69.93.141.100]:80... connected.

Hi 3Dave, >Check that you haven't enabled recursive >downloading in your ~/.wgetrc or /etc/wgetrc. Something strange happened here on "wget" # cat /etc/wgetrc ..... reclevel = 1 (also tried '5') waitretry = 10 #recursive = off (also tried uncomment it) ..... $ wget http://kristi.erdves.lt/books/Computah%20Stuff/unix-linux/Teach_Yourself_Shell_Programming_In_24hrs.tar/ewtoc.html only the index.html page downloaded. If uncomment "recursive = off", nothing downloaded. I must add "-r" option. But it downloaded the parent directories above; kristi.erdves.lt/books/Computah\ Stuff/unix-linux/Teach_Yourself_Shell_Programming_In_24hrs.tar/ B.R. satimis
