Shell program request to download .pdf files
Hello,

Would you suggest me a shell program that would launch the given url and if there is login we have enter the credentials.

If the credentials are correct it would be redirected to home page of that url, the program will check if there are any PDF'S found automatically the PDF'S have to be downloaded.



Thanks and Regards,
Ramanjaneya. K

Look at wget and curl
Both can send username and password.
Do a grep for the page, then examine if there are PDF file located.
If found, download them with wget/curl.

something like curl http://example.com and redirect the output to a file, then grep for pdf or PDF in the html output with some sed,awk,cut magic you will be able to get a URL only then wget that URL

would be really fun to enjoy building the script, read a little Smilie
