Hi, do you run the latest wget (1.21.4)?
With that version, you get a Cannot write to 'index.html' (Permission denied). Regards, Tim On 10/21/23 17:16, Christian Rosentreter wrote:
Hi there, There's a minor cosmetic bug in wget 1.x where it claims "Success" when it in fact entirely failed to write to the local disk, e.g. because of missing permissions/ write access to the current directory. The return code is "3" however, so it's basically only the message that it prints on screen that is funny in a suspicious way: ### Prepare situation… $ mkdir foobar $ chmod -w foobar # remove write access $ cd foobar ### Note: the "Permission denied" and "Cannot write to" messages, but we ### get a "(Success)" anyway: $ wget https://www.christianrosentreter.com/ --2023-10-21 17:05:35-- https://www.christianrosentreter.com/ Resolving www.christianrosentreter.com (www.christianrosentreter.com)... 85.13.142.16 Connecting to www.christianrosentreter.com (www.christianrosentreter.com)|85.13.142.16|:443... connected.
