Wget just download directory list form the FTP

[jmhnzax]

Hi All,

When i try to use Wget to download all files under a directory of FTP, i found that only the list of directory was download. The files under the directory were not downloaded at all.

Here is the log.

=======================================================

D:\Builds>wget -r ftp://127.0.0.1/chdir/

--10:17:38-- ftp://127.0.0.1:21/chdir/

=> `127.0.0.1/chdir/.listing'

No such file `'.

======================================================

I have copied 5 files to FTP, and none of them could be downloaded by Wget.

Does some one know how to resolve it?

Thanks

Sorry for bringing up a dead post but I would like to know what the outcome was on this issue.

You can do this several ways -- depends what you're trying to do.

 

The easiest way is to use scp instead of wget.

 

You could also use a bash script with all of the filenames in a textfile that you want to download. 

 

for f in `cat textfile`; do wget $f; done

 

EDIT:

Just found this.

wget -rkp -l3 -np -nH --cut-dirs=1
