Downloading an Entire Web Site with wget
If you ever need to download an entire Web site, perhaps for off-line viewing, wget can do the job—for example:
$ wget \ --recursive \ --no-clobber \ --page-requisites \ --html-extension \ --convert-links \ --restrict-file-names=windows \ --domains website.org \ --no-parent \ www.website.org/tutorials/html/
This command downloads the Web site www.website.org/tutorials/html/.
The options are:
-
--recursive: download the entire Web site.
-
--domains website.org: don't follow links outside website.org.
-
--no-parent: don't follow links outside the directory tutorials/html/.
-
--page-requisites: get all the elements that compose the page (images, CSS and so on).
-
--html-extension: save files with the .html extension.
-
--convert-links: convert links so that they work locally, off-line.
-
--restrict-file-names=windows: modify filenames so that they will work in Windows as well.
-
--no-clobber: don't overwrite any existing files (used in case the download is interrupted and resumed).
