Download specific directories data with wget

Question

I am downloading data from an 'ftp' server using 'wget' from Ubuntu system command line. I know how to download all the directories from a specific URL. Is their any command to select and download some specific directories?

I am using "wget -c -r --no-parent 'URL' --user=xx --password=xx"

Now if I give a URL xx followed by the year say 2009, then the URL will be xx/2009 . Now I want to download folders 100 to 365 within 2009, not the total folders (001 to 365) . How can I do that?

Answer 1

您可以使用Shell扩展指定所需的目录：

wget -c -r --no-parent URL/2009/{100..365} --user=xx --password=xx

Answer 2

if someone searching for these types of problem I have another solution now which is better than wget -c -r --no-parent URL/2009/{100..365} --user=xx --password=xx This does not have any problem, but if the URL is programmed in such a way that no one is allowed to download a large amount of data at a time then the next one will do the trick for i in $(seq -w 144 365);do wget -r --no-parent URL/year/$i --user=XX --password=xx ; sleep 30; done for i in $(seq -w 144 365);do wget -r --no-parent URL/year/$i --user=XX --password=xx ; sleep 30; done
