  • Wget

    From Gord Hannah@1:17/23.1 to All on Fri Nov 14 08:37:43 2003
    Hello All hope you are having a good day :-)!
    About: Wget

    I am trying to setup wget to fetch a file, in order to automate my system even more.

    here is the commands that I am using:
    set EMXOPT=-h100
    set HOME=d:\work

    The following line is split.
    wget --passive -g on ftp://mcafee.com/pub/datfiles/english/*.zip -oa f:\adept\logfiles\wget.log

    All it does is sit there and go duh, what do i need to do to get this to work like I want?

    Hope this helps. Keep us posted.

    We are a fine board trying to make it better.

    AFAIK, wget doesn't have an option --passive
    I searched the manuals for version 1.5.3 and for 1.8.1 for --passive and in both manuals I only find --passive-ftp or ---passive-ftp

    wget v1.5.3 has --passive-ftp
    wget v1.8.1 has ---passive-ftp
    (note the extra '-')

    Maybe you need to use --passive-ftp or ---passive-ftp (depending on the version
    of wget) or leave it out entirely (its default is on).

    All it does is sit there and go duh, what do i need to do to get this
    to work like I want?

    Which wget version are you using?

    I just tried the --passive-ftp and no go, the same result without passive in the commandline. No go either.

    to work like I want?

    Which wget version are you using?

    wget 1.5.1

    Hope this helps. Keep us posted.
