I am trying to set up an automated mirroring of a small part of the NAI ftp server.
The small part is just the directory of the antivirus updates.
I tried to download the directory by automated ftp scripts (something like mget *.*)
but that means lots of waste, so I decided to try wget.
I found the port to windows of the version 1.6 so I just put the executable in a
directory and tried to mirror a directory from a local ftp server here: it was ok.
Then I prepared for the real mirroring, I just typed "wget -S ftp://ftp.nai.com/path/"
and I noticed that at the end of the log, wget was trying to download index.html while
there was no reference to that file in the .listing, so I had a look at the whole log
using the -d option (and the attached file is the result of that operation).
Now I don't know if this is a bug or if there is the usual simple and big mistake I am
doing, so I thought to email someone... I tried to look for the mailing list archives
on the web but it seems I found an old link, so I thought to write here.
I must say that I also thought that it was a problem of the win32 port of wget so I
downloaded the tarball and compiled in a redhat 6.2 machine here but the result is
exactely the same.
I also tried to download some files in the listing, to see if the error was because of
read permission, and the files were downloaded correctly, and also the .listing is
created correctly, so I don't really know what to do.
I hope I am not making you waste lots of time and excuse me for this terrible english,
and obviously thanks a lot.
