recursive wget

[sebestenyb]

media:/img/bin# wget -r
wget: invalid option -- r
BusyBox v1.1.3 (2007.06.14-03:35+0000) multi-call binary

Usage: wget [-c|--continue] [-q|--quiet] [-O|--output-document file]
                [--header 'header: value'] [-Y|--proxy on/off] [-P DIR] url

wget retrieves files via HTTP or FTP

Options:
        -c      continue retrieval of aborted transfers
        -q      quiet mode - do not print
        -P      Set directory prefix to DIR
        -O      save to filename ('-' for stdout)
        -Y      use proxy ('on' or 'off')

is there a way to download files from ftp recursively? the DLM admin interface lacks this feature too, it is not possible to define a directory as target to download. any idea how to do it?

Not with the tools installed on the N2100 (not even with the UTILS module).

Both wget and curl do not have a recursive option and since there is no other ftp client available you only have one option left; install a ftp client yourself.

At this moment I am also looking for a simple ftp client, but I don't have one to recommend as of this moment....

I have just downloaded a compiled (old) version of wget for debian

archive.debian.org/debian-archive/pool/main/w/wget/wget_1.5.3-3.1_arm.deb

Open in 7zip, or similar program, and unpack the data.tar

I put it into my /tmp directory for a test.

then you the /var/tmp/usr/bin

wget is there.

run wget --help

It works.

it works, but it does not have a recursice option ...

Try

archive.debian.org/debian-archive/pool/main/w/wget/wget_1.8.1-6.1_arm.deb

Recursive retrieval:
-r, --recursive recursive web-suck -- use with care!
-l, --level=NUMBER maximum recursion depth (inf or 0 for infinite).
--delete-after delete files locally after downloading them.
-k, --convert-links convert non-relative links to relative.
-K, --backup-converted before converting file X, back up as X.orig.
-m, --mirror shortcut option equivalent to -r -N -l inf -nr.
-p, --page-requisites get all images, etc. needed to display HTML page.

Interesting !

I also found tnftp and cftp there; they both need libcurses however so I will have to install these to test them ...

the files are really old binaries.

I do have have the time to learn how to complie for the N2100. Other may be able to help.

[chemist]

Well, I already downloaded the ARM toolchain from thecus and I have Cygwin installed on my laptop so if you can help me set it up maybe we can try to create some new stuff ....

maybe that will also be an impulse to revive this forum ....

The wget module listed before works fine without additional libraries.

I also found that ftpget and ftpput in this package also work fine on the N2100:

archive.debian.org/debian-archive/pool/main/n/ncftp/ncftp_3.1.3-1_arm.deb

And last but not least; i found a netcat version for ARM which also works fine ;D
