WGET for Windows

Easily mirror http/ftp sites to your local hard drive

5 D* ~! E1 R( H3 d9 T: G" q7 EI searched for some time for a utility that would let me mirror a remote http site to my hard drive with Windows 95. While there are several utilities to do this, I couldn't find any that I liked. Specifically, I wanted to be able to do it from the command line so that I could call it from a script, and I wanted duplicate files on my local drive for subsequent processing by another application. When I found wget for the unix environment, I decided to port it to Windows.

The unix version is available at ftp://sunsite.auc.dk/pub/infosystems/wget/.

The most recent version I compiled is wgetwin-1_5_3_1-binary.zip. Version 1.5.3 of wget compiles cleanly for windows. To compile it yourself, you will also need to get wget-1.5.3.tar.gz. This 1.5.3.1 includes some additional changes to allow downloading of URLs that have '?' or '*' in their name. This compile was created on July 1, 1999.

To set up a .wgetrc file under windows, you have two choices

Set an environment variable called "WGETRC" which points to the full pathname of your wgetrc file
, E- c3 u5 q( H5 U2 hSet an environment variable called "HOME" (if it doesn't already exist) pointing to a directory. Put your wgetrc file in this directory, and call it 'wgetrc'

It is archived at http://fly.cc.fer.hr/archive/wget. To subscribe to it, send email to wget-subscribe@sunsite.auc.dk with the word subscribe as the subject.
