Hi Mncedi,
Welcome to GDAL !
Here is how I recommend working through that (using a working example) :
Step 1: ogrinfo
----------------
Always always start with an ogrinfo command, to see the available layer
names:
ogrinfo WFS:https://demo.gatewaygeomatics.com/cgi-bin/wfs_gateway
returns:
using driver `WFS' successful.
1: ms:park
Great! We now know the layer name is called "ms:park"
Step 2: ogrinfo + layername
---------------------------
Next, see if ogrinfo can return info about that ms:park layer:
ogrinfo WFS:https://demo.gatewaygeomatics.com/cgi-bin/wfs_gateway
ms:park -summary
returns:
using driver `WFS' successful.
Layer name: ms:park
Metadata:
TITLE=Parks
Geometry: Unknown (any)
Feature Count: 46
Extent: (-2346804.000000, -67422.421875) - (2840366.000000,
3830124.250000)
Layer SRS WKT:
PROJCS["NAD83 / Canada Atlas Lambert"
Great! ogrinfo gave us info about our layer
Step 3: ogr2ogr + layername
---------------------------
Notice that the syntax is something like: ogr2ogr output input layername :
ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" parks.shp
WFS:https://demo.gatewaygeomatics.com/cgi-bin/wfs_gateway ms:park
Tested using MS4W 4.0 https://ms4w.com

Hello everyone,
I am new in GDAL so I'm struggling to convert a wfs to shapefile using
ogr2ogr.
my command is as follows:
C:\>ogr2ogr -f "ESRI SHAPEFILE" ec_pensioners WFS:"
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/osw?"; pensioners
* ec_pensioners is the name of the wfs layer
* pensioners is the output layer
* " http://localhost:8080/geoserver/osw?"; is where the layer is hosted
The error message I get:
FAILURE:
