Question

On one free web-hosted place I build a site, well not actually a site, but just uploaded a folder with many sub folders inside containing many pictures. Now, I have discovered that this hosting is going to close soon and they gave their users one month t save all the materials. Of course, i can enter each folder manually and use "Save as" in my browser, but I wonder how I could do that automatically. Is there any such way? By the way it shouldn't be FTP - it doesn't work there.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Assuming you don't have any kind of command line access to your web host, you could use wget to download the images from your site.

Something like wget -r -A .jpg,.gif,.png where -r mean recursive (i.e. descend into subdirectories) and -A means filter for ("accept") files ending with the comma-separated list of extensions.

OTHER TIPS

one word: wget
