wget assistance to manage parent directories...
looking for a wget option that does not retrieve entire path from source box...


currently working with the following syntax:
Code:
wget --no-verbose --mirror --no-parent --no-host-directories --page-requisites --ftp-user=mis --ftp-password=secret  ftp://192.x.x.x/tmp/test


is anyone familiar with the syntax needed to recursively retrieve the directory test, without /tmp ?


thanks in advance,
manny

       cddb-tool help

DESCRIPTION

       cddb-tool is a backend tool for abcde. It is passed information from cd-discid and uses it look up the CD title, artist, and track informa-
       tion on the cddb database (http://freedb.freedb.org) on the internet.

COMMANDS

       parse [file] option

       Get data out of a cddb file (use "-" for stdin).  Options (use one and only one):

	      id     prints disc id

	      album  prints album title

	      track num
		     prints title of track num

	      artist prints artist

	      category
		     prints category

	      cddbgenre
		     synonym for category

	      all    parse file and dumps to stdout in a form sourceable by the shell

       send [file] address

       Mails file file (or stdin of no file specified) to specified address, using correct format.  Category should be one  of	blues,	classical,
       country, data, folk, jazz, newage, reggae, rock, soundtrack, misc.

       template [disc-id] [tracks]

       Generates a template (empty) cddb file to stdout.  The command line should be essentially the output of cd-discid.

       query [server] [user] [host] [disc-id] [tracks]

       Looks  up  disc on server (should be of form "http://host/cddb/cddb.cgi") remainder of command line is in the same form as that returned by
       the cd-discid program. Uses wget, so if you need to use a proxy then just configure wget to do so. user and host will be used for identify-
       ing ourselves to the CDDB server. Outputs response code and entries with matching CDDB entries, if successful, from the CDDB server.

       read [server] [user] [host] [disc-id] [genre]

       Dumps  CDDB  entry to stdout. File will contain an extra #CATEGORY= line, which leaves it a valid CDDB file but which will be recognized by
       parse and send commands. Uses wget, so if you need to use a proxy then just configure wget to do so. user and host will be used for identi-
       fying ourselves to the CDDB server.

       help

       Prints usage information.
