Does anybody know of a replacement for wget that will work as well as wget,
but will not have the file size limit problem? wget can't get a file that
is bigger than 2gigs in size. On the wget mail list, it is reported as a
bug by some and as just a feature request by others. I am trying to mirror
an ftp directory for a client so they can have a backup, but one file stops
the wget download process. I can't find a way to exclude that one file
from the wget download so now I have to see if there is another program out
there that can work as well. Here is the command that I use. Yes, I have
replaced the server IP with a fictious one. The actual IP is for an
internet IP.
wget --passive-ftp --mirror --no-host-directories --cut-dirs=1
--directory-prefix=/home/SHARE1/ 'ftp://login:password@192.168.1.1/SHARE1/'
Thanks
Steve
