Hi all
I am a newbie on wget, so there is a "silly"
question about its usage.
(If this list is not the place for such questions,
please let me know in order to avoid using it
for this kind of stuff.)
I try to dowlnload a directory with its contents
from an ftp site via proxy. Although the connection
is properly made, what i finaly get is the listing of
the contents of the directory in an .html page,
but none of its actual contents are downloaded.
what i used is "wget -r -np -l 10 -w 10 --follow-ftp"
while .wgetrc contains the proxy settings
and the following:
reclevel = 15
waitretry = 10
use_proxy = on
dirstruct = on
recursive = on
follow_ftp = on
glob = on
verbose = on
mirror = on
retr_symlinks = on
Can anybody contribute with a hint or advice?
I will be gratefull!
hi spiros,
recursive FTP through proxy has been broken for ages. fortunately, this
bug was fixed in the recently released 1.11-alpha1 version of wget:
