Re: Problems with wget - Bulletproof ftpd (Win32)
Dings-Da wrote: I got a question on Wget's behaviour with Windows-based Bulletproof FTPd. Though i am aware that wget had some problems with Windows-based ftp servers, which were quite often discussed here in the mailing list, i tried out the latest wget-version v1.7 (not dev!) and encountered the following: [...] 421 Too many users logged for this account. Try again later. That's it. You are logged in more times than that you are allowed to. Seems clear to me. Is this a known issue? Perhaps it's more a wrong behaviour of Bulletproof instead of wget, but since i'm not sure about that, i decided to post it here :) We can easily verify that: In the moment when your wget session fails, just try a normal FTP session (possibly without any proxies inbetween as this may cause additional problems). If, after your login, the FTP session fails as well, it's the Bulletproof FTPd. Otherwise it may be some problem in wget (although I personally doubt it). In such a case please send us a complete log of that "normal" FTP session with "set debug on" so that we can compare what is going wrong. -- jan
wget question
Hi, Sorry for bothering you but I have a small wget quetsion? How do I fetch in a html which location ends on this: /printpage.cgi?forum=1topic=1. Most of the time it is something like /index.html which doesn't give a problem. thanks, Emile __ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

build outside of source dir breaks installation of wget.1
I try to build all autoconfed packages outside of the source directory. (It is suggested that they allow this type of build in the GNU Coding Standards.) The generated man page, wget.1, ends up in the build directory, but install looks for it in srcdir: /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ../../wget-1.7/doc/wget.1 /usr/man/man1/wget.1 /usr/bin/install: cannot stat `../../wget-1.7/doc/wget.1': No such file or directory nexus@thune[10:50pm]/usr/src/wget(720) find . -name wget.1 ./wget-1.7-build/doc/wget.1 The following patch seems to work. diff -ru wget-1.7.orig/doc/Makefile.in wget-1.7/doc/Makefile.in --- wget-1.7.orig/doc/Makefile.in Thu Apr 12 05:25:22 2001 +++ wget-1.7/doc/Makefile.inWed Jun 13 23:04:45 2001 @@ -115,7 +115,7 @@ # install man page, creating install directory if necessary install.man: $(MAN) $(top_srcdir)/mkinstalldirs $(DESTDIR)$(mandir)/man$(manext) - $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/$(MAN) $(DESTDIR)$(mandir)/man$(manext)/$(MAN) + $(INSTALL_DATA) $(MAN) $(DESTDIR)$(mandir)/man$(manext)/$(MAN) # install sample.wgetrc install.wgetrc: $(srcdir)/sample.wgetrc mrc -- Mike Castle [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.netcom.com/~dalgoda/ We are all of us living in the shadow of Manhattan. -- Watchmen fatal (You are in a maze of twisty compiler features, all different); -- gcc
Re: Simple questions about wget
Many thanks for this feedback Joe. I shall look into this, and see if I can get this to work! Thank you once again. With best wishes. -Original Message- From: Joe Cooper [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, 03 Jun 2001 05:17:00 -0500 To: Diabetes Simulator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Simple questions about wget Diabetes Simulator wrote: Hi there. I am new to this list (and wget) but would be grateful for any advice that anyone may be able to provide. In particular I have two questions: (1) Does it matter which server wget is run on (original host vs mirror?) - or does it need to be run on the mirror (destination) server - and pull / get files from the host? (I do not yet know which server / ISP will be more amenable to installing this). It must be run on the mirror. wget /gets/ files from an origin server. (2) Does wget have to be compiled on the server - e.g. something that the Systems / Server Administrator needs to do - or is this something that an end user (Webmaster) could do in his / her personal Webspace / cgi-bin? If the server has a reasonable build environment already (i.e. GCC and appropriate libraries), you can easily compile it yourself and install it in your home directory. If not, then you'll have to locate a pre-compiled binary appropriate for your system (or hope that one is already installed). Though a packaged binary probably won't do you any good--RPMs and the like usually must be installed by the root user. wget doesn't usually need any special permissions to run however, so can be run from a simple shell account. Do not put it in your cgi-bin, though...you should make a 'bin' directory off of your home directory where you put any binaries that you install yourself. Most systems already have ~/bin in the path, and so it will 'just work' assuming permissions are correct. If your local bin is not in the path, then you can add it. Consult a basic Unix text or online tutorial for more on this kind of thing, as it is way off topic here. You'll want to read up on cron, as well, while your perusing your Unix tutorial or book.
