How would I write a terminal command to download a folder with wget from a Media Temple (gs) server?
- by racl101
I'm trying to download a folder using wget on the Terminal (I'm usin a Mac if that matters) because my ftp client sucks and keeps timing out. It doesn't stay connected for long. So I was wondering if I could use wget to connect via ftp protocol to the server to download the directory in question. I have searched around in the internet for this and have attempted to write the command but it keeps failing. So assuming the following:
ftp username is: [email protected]
ftp host is: ftp.s12345.gridserver.com
ftp password is: somepassword
I have tried to write the command in the following ways:
wget -r ftp://[email protected]:[email protected]/path/to/desired/folder/
wget -r ftp://serveradmin:[email protected]/path/to/desired/folder/
When I try the first way I get this error:
Bad port number.
When I try the second way I get a little further but I get this error:
Resolving s12345.gridserver.com... 71.46.226.79
Connecting to s12345.gridserver.com|71.46.226.79|:21... connected.
Logging in as serveradmin ...
Login incorrect.
What could I be doing wrong?
