Hello, I'm trying to mirror a website "https://server.domain.com/"; using GNU wget 1.21 (on Debian 12, "testing").
I want to exclude the directory "https://server.domain.com/foo"; and all subdirectories of "https://server.domain.com/bar";, but I want all files in "https://server.domain.com/bar/"; to be included. So I run: wget --recursive -X "/foo,/bar/*" https://server.domain.com/ This doesn't do what I expect it to do: The directory "https://server.domain.com/foo"; is excluded ... as expected. Files in directory "https://server.domain.com/bar/"; are included ... as expected. But subdirectories of "https://server.domain.com/bar/"; are included, too. The man page says: "-X list --exclude-directories=list Specify a comma-separated list of directories you wish to exclude from download. Elements of list may contain wildcards." How can I prevent wget from downloading subdirectories of "https://server.domain.com/bar/";? Am I using the wildcard "*" in the wrong way? Thanks for your help! Jan Nagel
