wget Examples
wget can be used to get a single file from a website, or to download the entire site if you know how. Here some examples of using wget.
Download a single file
To get a single file from a website, and save it using it's default name, use:
wget http://www.cameraangle.co.uk/index.php This will download the file index.php from wwww.cameraangle.co.uk
Download a single file and rename it
To get a single file from a website, and save it using a new name, use:
wget http://www.cameraangle.co.uk/index.php -O index.txt This will download the file index.php from wwww.cameraangle.co.uk and save it as index.txt
Resume an interrupted download previously started by wget itself
This does depend on the site supporting resuming.
