Hello,
I'm using wget 1.10.2 on windows to mirror an ftp directory.
essentially one line:
wget --timestamping ftp://ftp.com/pub/updates/* -o ..\Update.log
an local application then scans through the resulting files for valid
updates.
As the update directory has grown over the years to several thousand
files, the local application takes too long scanning the downloaded files.
Neither the ftp directory nor the application are under my control to
modify.
The only possibility I have, is limiting the number of update files
stored locally.
it would help if wget could be limited to only retrieve modified files
with dates from 1/1/2007 onwards.
Something like -z option in the curl application curl -z 20070101 ...
(curl won't do because it downloads only one file at the time and that
would need ftp listing parsing and too much scripting to make it work)
the command (line) i'm after, would be something like:
wget --timestamping -z 20070101 ftp://ftp.com/pub/updates/* -o ..\Update.log
Can wget do this?
regards
glenn
