wget - grabbing web pages from command line Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 11 September 2003 A quick note on the wget utility ... great way to grab a copy of a web page from the command line and save it to your local disc. Also has recursive and mirror options. Great for mirroring .html .gif and .jpg files - beware of scripts and .php and .jsp files, as you'll get the parsed version rather than the originals ...wget -m -w2 http://www.sheepbingo.co.uk/index.html That example will mirror the named site, starting at index.html. The -w2 is important because it puts a 2 second delay between each page rather than burning up all the bandwidth on what might be a large transfer! Wget is included with Linux distributions ... otherwise find it at ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/ or alternatives listed at http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/wget.html if you would like a windows binary!
