Downloading files available on a website

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1059 / 3 Years ago, mon, november 8, 2021, 7:59:57

My aim is to download only the files available on websites such as those on http://pelusa.fis.cinvestav.mx/tmatos/LaSumA/LaSumA2_archivos/NumeRCPs/ansi/index.htm under the "Access via Directories:" title. How can I achieve my aim I am not familiar with wget and I do not want to obtain the html files, I would like to download only the *.c and *.h files on that site for example. Is it possible? I think downloading specific file types and saving to a desired place is a function provided by wget.

This will retrieve all .c and .h files:

wget -r -l1 --no-parent -A c,h http://pelusa.fis.cinvestav.mx/tmatos/LaSumA/LaSumA2_archivos/NumeRCPs/ansi/recipes/

Result will be a directory structure

pelusa.fis.cinvestav.mx/

tmatos/

LaSumA/

LaSumA2_archivos/

NumeRCPs/

ansi/

recipes/

and the .c and .h files will be in recipes/ (it will not save in the same target directory since that could overwrite files).

There are other tools that might be easier, like lftp (it supports globbing better than wget).
