RE: wget -i URLs.txt

Hi Corona688,

Thanks for your post. The membership site I belong to is resell-rights-weekly.com and I just login and click the links to download to my home computer. I want to bypass my home computer and copy the files for that week's downloads. server to server is much faster than me trying to DSL them down and back up to my server. The input file is necessary because new downloads are put on the site each week. I will then put the urls in URLs.txt before the wget, set up as a cron to run every Monday and bring the files over in a fraction of the time to copy. I had it working partially but could not remember the switches I set.

Here is my next try: -->> wget -i URLs.txt --post-data 'user=klondrie&password=XXXX' -o wgetlogfile.txt -c

What do you think? What would you change? This should be a piece of cake. I do not see a lot of security as I can login and click the links to download to my computer. Need them on my server though.

Any more help available?

NAME
htpurge - remove unused odocuments from the database (general maintenance script) SYNOPSIS
htpurge [-][-a][-c configfile][-u][-v] DESCRIPTION
Htpurge functions to remove specified URLs from the databases as well as bad URLs, unretrieved URLs, obsolete documents, etc. It is recom- mended that htpurge be run after htdig to clean out any documents of this sort. OPTIONS - Take URL list from standard input (rather than specified with -u). Format of input file is one URL per line. -a Use alternate work files. Tells htpurge to append .work to database files, causing a second copy of the database to be built. This allows the original files to be used by htsearch during the run. -c configfile Use the specified configfile instead of the default. -u URL Add this URL to the list of documents to remove. Must be specified multiple times if more than one URL are to be removed. Should nor be used together with -. -v Verbose mode. This increases the verbosity of the program. Using more than 2 is probably only useful for debugging purposes. The default verbose mode (using only one -v) gives a nice progress report while digging. FILES
/etc/htdig/htdig.conf The default configuration file. SEE ALSO
Please refer to the HTML pages (in the htdig-doc package) /usr/share/doc/htdig-doc/html/index.html and the manual pages htdigconfig(8) , htdig(1) and htmerge(1) for a detailed description of ht://Dig and its commands. AUTHOR
