There is a possibility then that a file may only be partially downloaded. Each filename should be on its own line. You would then run the command:. You can also do this with an HTML file. If you have an HTML file on your server and you want to download all the links within that page you need add --force-html to your command.
Usually, you want your downloads to be as fast as possible. However, if you want to continue working while downloading, you want the speed to be throttled. If you are downloading a large file and it fails part way through, you can continue the download in most cases by using the -c option. Normally when you restart a download of the same filename, it will append a number starting with.
If you want to schedule a large download ahead of time, it is worth checking that the remote files exist. The option to run a check on files is --spider. In circumstances such as this, you will usually have a file with the list of files to download inside. An example of how this command will look when checking for a list of files is:. If you want to copy an entire website you will need to use the --mirror option.
As this can be a complicated task there are other options you may need to use such as -p , -P , --convert-links , --reject and --user-agent. It is always best to ask permission before downloading a site belonging to someone else and even if you have permission it is always good to play nice with their server. If you want to download a file via FTP and a username and password is required, then you will need to use the --ftp-user and --ftp-password options. However, the file will be downloaded and saved as taglist.
The wget utility allows you to download web pages, files and images from the web using the Linux command line. You can use a single wget command on its own to download from a site or set up an input file to download multiple files across multiple sites. According to the manual page wget can be used even when the user has logged out of the system. To do this you would use the nohup command. The wget utility will retry a download even when the connection drops, resuming from where it left off if possible when the connection returns.
You can download entire websites using wget and convert the links to point to local sources so that you can view a website offline. It is worth creating your own folder on your machine using the mkdir command and then moving into the folder using the cd command. The result is a single index. On its own, this file is fairly useless as the content is still pulled from Google and the images and stylesheets are still all held on Google.
Five levels deep might not be enough to get everything from the site. You can use the -l switch to set the number of levels you wish to go to as follows:.
There is still one more problem. You might get all the pages locally but all the links in the pages still point to their original place. It is therefore not possible to click locally between the links on the pages. You can get around this problem by using the -k switch which converts all the links on the pages to point to their locally downloaded equivalent as follows:. If you want to get a complete mirror of a website you can simply use the following switch which takes away the necessity for using the -r -k and -l switches.
Therefore if you have your own website you can make a complete backup using this one simple command. You can get wget to run as a background command leaving you able to get on with your work in the terminal window whilst the files download. You can of course combine switches. To run the wget command in the background whilst mirroring the site you would use the following command:.
If you are running the wget command in the background you won't see any of the normal messages that it sends to the screen. You can get all of those messages sent to a log file so that you can check on progress at any time using the tail command. To output information from the wget command to a log file use the following command:.
The reverse, of course, is to require no logging at all and no output to the screen. To omit all output use the following command:. Open up a file using your favorite editor or even the cat command and simply start listing the sites or links to download from on each line of the file. Apart from backing up your own website or maybe finding something to download to read on the train, it is unlikely that you will want to download an entire website.
