Hi there, I am not sure if it is a bug or I just do not understand how wget works (generally known as 'I am stupid').
I use a script to mirror some directories recursively on a CentOS 8 with GNU Wget 1.19.5. > export WGETOPTIONS='--limit-rate=2m --mirror --timestamp --recursive > --no-parent -R "index.html*" --no-host-directories --cut-dirs=1 --no-verbose' > wget $WGETOPTIONS 'https://example.com/Dir-1/Dir-1.1/' -P > /srv/fileserver/docs/example.com/Dir-1 Which throws the following output: > 2019-11-25 14:42:24 URL:https://example.com/Dir-1/Dir-1.1/ [14650] -> > "/srv/fileserver/docs/example.com/Dir-1/Dir-1.1/index.html" [1] > https://example.com/robots.txt: > 2019-11-25 14:42:24 ERROR 404: Not Found. > /srv/fileserver/docs/example.com/Dir-1/SubDir-1.1/Sub-SubDir-1.1.1: Is a > directory > Cannot write to > ‘/srv/fileserver/docs/example.com/Dir-1/SubDir-1.1/Sub-SubDir-1.1.1’ (Is a > directory). > /srv/fileserver/docs/example.com/Dir-1/SubDir-1.1/Sub-SubDir-1.1.2: Is a > directory > Cannot write to > ‘/srv/fileserver/docs/example.com/Dir-1/SubDir-1.1/Sub-SubDir-1.1.2’ (Is a > directory). > /srv/fileserver/docs/example.com/Dir-1/SubDir-1.1/Sub-SubDir-1.1.3: Is a > directory > Cannot write to > ‘/srv/fileserver/docs/example.com/Dir-1/SubDir-1.1/Sub-SubDir-1.1.3’ (Is a > directory). If I remove a directory from my local file server, wget mirrors the directory correctly. I tried a lot of other options, but no matter what I tried I run into this error. It also does download the index.html even if I reject it. Maybe you guys can help me a little bit. Cheers Boris
