multiple file transfer over http

[hcclnoodles]

Hi there, probably a really simple question but i want to download all .rpm files from a web repository which happens to be http and not ftp

Ive tried using wget, but as far as i can see it doesnt allow for wilcards (ie wget

http://address/*.rpm)

does anybody know i can get all these files in one hit ?

ps - ive tried rsync aswell but to no avail

try quoting your url to prevent it from shell expansion.

wget only supports wildcard matching for FTP not HTTP

does anybody have an idea on what other tools are available for http downloads using wildcard matching ???

take a look at lftp - not sure if it does what you're looking for.
