I am trying to mirror a directory using wget and the resulting files as expected are taking the name of the string in the url after the last "/".
Anyone know a way around this? I am using the mirror option so I don't have to keep track of what to get making it simple.
Thanks! jlc

I am having a bit of trouble parsing what you wrote, but I think you are saying you are issuing something like: wget --mirror http://example.com/subdir1/subdir2/fileiwant and getting at your location ./fileiwant which is a little confusing, because I would have expected you to get (with just the --mirror option): ./example.com/subdir1/subdir2/fileiwant
please give an example command and output received and desired.
to get ./fileiwant from my example url above I think you would have to do: wget --mirror ---cut-dirs=2 -no-host-directories \ http://example.com/subdir1/subdir2/fileiwant

Ok, the exact use is the mirroring of vm directories on an esxi server over to a centos storage server.
The vm's folder url is: https://10.0.0.61/folder/vm-name?dcPath=ha-datacenter&dsName=Datastore_2 for example.
When it begins mirroring it, it see's urls like this: https://10.0.0.61/folder/vm-name/Disc-1-flat.vmdk?dcPath=ha-datacenter&d... so the resulting file downloaded is not Disc-1-flat.vmdk, but: Disc-1-flat.vmdk?dcPath=ha-datacenter&dsName=Datastore_2 Thanks! jlc

Can't do it off the top of my head, but it would be a pretty simple Perl script to simply go through the directory and rename the files, dropping the ? and everything after.

my apology in advance for suggesting another tool, but, there you are ...
use lftp for mirroring? wget can do mirroring but it is clunky compared to lftp, and much harder to script. man pages are worse, to my taste
Looking, it seems I have a bit over 1400 files driving lftp that basically look like this on a local interior mirror
[root@xps400 ~]# wc -l *.conf *.conf_ | tail -1 1490 total
[root@xps400 ~]# cat lftp-ORC.conf # # inside at ftp.first, this is NOT automatically run # mirror -c -e \ ftp://ftp.owlriver.com/pub/local/ORC \ /var/ftp/pub/mirror/ORC #
-------
One can invoke it as simply as:
lftp -f lftp-ORC.conf
and it will of course run non-root if one desires; it can be wrappered up in a scriptlet (I use a flock scheme in the wrappering so it does not overrun into a prior day's run; mirroring runs continuously) ...

suggests a simple way to gather detail:
export YMD=`date +%Y%m%d` cd $TOP date > DIRECTORY_SIZES.txt date > MANIFEST-${YMD}.txt find . -type d -exec du -sh {} ; >> DIRECTORY_SIZES.txt find . -type f ; >> MANIFEST-${YMD}.txt
and diff to taste, optionally automailing when more than the top 'date' line changes

What about rsync ?
rsync(1)
NAME rsync — a fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool
SYNOPSIS Local: rsync [OPTION...] SRC... [DEST]
Access via remote shell: Pull: rsync [OPTION...] [USER@]HOST:SRC... [DEST] Push: rsync [OPTION...] SRC... [USER@]HOST:DEST
Access via rsync daemon: Pull: rsync [OPTION...] [USER@]HOST::SRC... [DEST] rsync [OPTION...] rsync://[USER@]HOST[:PORT]/SRC... [DEST] Push: rsync [OPTION...] SRC... [USER@]HOST::DEST rsync [OPTION...] SRC... rsync://[USER@]HOST[:PORT]/DEST
Usages with just one SRC arg and no DEST arg will list the source files instead of copying.
DESCRIPTION Rsync is a fast and extraordinarily versatile file copying tool. It can copy locally, to/from another host over any remote shell, or to/from a remote rsync daemon. It offers a large number of options that control every aspect of its behavior and permit very flexible specification of the set of files to be copied. It is famous for its delta-transfer algorithm, which reduces the amount of data sent over the network by sending only the differences between the source files

That requires co-operation from the remote end to set up an anonymous rsync server .. doable, but as I understood the scope of work, not within it

Well, doesn't need to be anon, but none the less I am SOL wrt to ftp or rsync as none of these daemons run locally on the host.
Someone pointed me to an existing script that accomplishes what I need and is actively maintained so I am in luck.
Thanks guys, and I will look into lftp as I also don't like wget for much more than fast one off's at the cli. jlc

lftp does www (and through a SSL https) mirroring just fine too ... I just did not mention it, as it did not occur to me from the initial question. As wget is such a 'pill' my eyes glazed over and I missed it in the follow on post you made

Or, if you have ssh access already it just works. But, I thought ESXi was mentioned somewhere and while it is possible to enable ssh on it, I don't think it has rsync.
