There is an article posted on eHow which is very helpful for beginners like me. The title of the article is "How to Use WGET in Windows." Although helpful, I need some clarification regarding the article's instructions listed below. I use Windows-7.
Step #5 says, "The path command should return a result similar to "c:\Windows\system32;c:\Windows." Then, step #6 seems to indicate that I should use one or the other of them (not both)...is that correct? Also, the path-command returns a result for me that contains the exact forementioned results, but ALSO returns at least 15 additional results! So what do I use? 1. Download and extract the Wget for Windows software from gnuwin32.sourceforge.net. 2. Click on "All Programs" in the Windows Start menu. 3. Click the "Accessories" option. 4. Click on the "Command Prompt" option to open a command prompt window. 5. Type "path" (without quotes) at the command prompt to ascertain the directory in which you should place the "Wget.exe" file so it will run with a single command. The path command should return a result similar to "c:\Windows\system32; c:\Windows". 6. Copy the extracted "wget.exe" file to the "Windows\system32" or "Windows" directory. The destination folder must be on the path command from Step 5. 7. Type "wget -h" at the command prompt to make sure the application can be executed. 8. Type "wget -r http://site-to-download.com"; at the command prompt to download the entire contents of the designated website. Replace "site-to-download.com" with the URL of the website that you want to download.
