使用wget下载目录

Question

I'm trying to download all the files in an online directory. The command I'm using is:

wget -r -np -nH -R index.html http://www.oecd-nea.org/dbforms/data/eva/evatapes/mendl_2/

Using this command I get an empty directory. If I specify file names at the end I can get one at a time, but I'd like to get them all at once. Am I just missing something simple?

output from command:

Answer 1

Add the depth of links you want to follow ( -l1 , since you only want to follow one link):

wget -e robots=off -l1 -r -np -nH -R index.html http://www.oecd-nea.org/dbforms/data/eva/evatapes/mendl_2/

I also added -e robots=off , since there is a robots.txt which would normally stop wget from going through that directory. For the rest of the world:

• -r recursive,
• -np no parent directory
• -nH no spanning across hosts
