If I don't want to have to download the files found in a specific url path manually, what options do I have? Using wildcards fail:



$ wget 'http://www.shinken-monitoring.org/pub/debian/*deb'
Warning: wildcards not supported in HTTP.
....


This of course assumes that I don't know the filenames in advance.

          Try this:



          wget -r -l1 --no-parent -A ".deb" http://www.shinken-monitoring.org/pub/debian/


          -r recursively
          -l1 to a maximum depth of 1
          --no-parent ignore links to a higher directory
          -A "*.deb" your pattern

          • Although it's true in this case - this does assume that the web server returns a page at the URL that lists all the files. If it returns an index page without any of the mentioned files, wget can magically get them.

            I think that an option -nd also will be useful here. It allows to download matched files to the current directory without creating a hierarchy of directories.
