Thanks Craig... It sounds like the clue I've been after... :)
Don't worry - it'll all be scripted. :) Regards, Raphael Kraus Software Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02 8306 0007 Direct Line 02 8306 0077 Sales | 02 8306 0099 Fax 02 8306 0088 Support 02 8306 0055 Administration 1300 13 WILD (9453) National | 1300 88 WILD (9453) Fax -----Original Message----- From: Craig Dibble [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 8 September 2006 10:19 AM To: Raphael Kraus Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [SLUG] wget remembering previous downloads Raphael Kraus wrote: > G'day all... > > I'm doing some man'ning to no avail here... > > Is there a way to have wget (downloading via ftp) to remember what it > has successfully downloaded, and not to download the same file again - > even if the file is deleted from disk? > > If not, has anyone else had to face this problem before? wget -nc will stop it downloading an existing file in the same directory, but to do what you're suggesting - if you then move or delete said file you would probably need to do something clever like output to a logfile (-o <file> initially, then -a <file> to append to the same file), then pipe that file back in using an 'exclude' to ignore those files. You'd probably need to wrap that in a script to get it to work correctly though.
