A while back I lost a hard drive (didn’t back it up) containing pictures and videos of my little ones. thought they were lost for ever until my wife showed me her photobucket had a lot of them. I’d like to pull those down (and back them up this time). I’d like to use wget but it requires a login with password. I’ve tried the following with no success:
thanks for your quick response, I put the meessage below, with 's where account name shows up. Hope this helps. it’s trying to log me in with a guest account I think is the reason why it’s not working. I know it’s not working b/c I’m getting just an index which is the login page for photobucket. I think I need to inbed my username and password in the url as shown with "photobucket.com/guestlogin?albumurl=http:%F%2Fsmg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv**%2F***%2

I think the reason you’re not getting them is that you can’t glob
(wildcard) with http. There is no file list per se. Will photobucket
accept an ftp connection? Then you can just pass the URL containing
hostname.domain/SourceDirectory/* and it’ll grab whatever’s in there.
Might print out the wget man page or manual. It’s something like 30
pages long, but it’ll clear up a lot of the confusion…
