Wget directory download



Wget a directory or files in a directory

To download a directory or files within a directory using the command-line tool Wget, you can use the following command:

phpCopy code

wget -r <directory URL> 

For example, if you want to download all files and subdirectories within the "example" directory on the website "www.example.com", you would use:

javascriptCopy code

wget -r https://www.example.com/example/ 

This will download all files within the "example" directory, including any subdirectories and their contents.

Note that the -r option stands for "recursive", which tells Wget to download all files and subdirectories within the specified directory. You can also use the -np option to prevent Wget from following links to parent directories, which can be useful if you only want to download files within a specific directory.

phpCopy code

wget -r -np <directory URL> 

For example:

javascriptCopy code

wget -r -np https://www.example.com/example/ 

This will download all files within the "example" directory and its subdirectories, but not any files in parent directories.
