Command for tranferring files through wget
Posted by ramdak5000, 07-16-2007, 10:24 PM I am trying to move over a client from Verio's hosting to my VPS. The verio control panel looks very amateurish and there is no option to do a full account backup. There is no SSH either. I tried wget -r ftp://user:pass@hostname/directory/* which was mentioned in another WHT thread, but after it gets connected, it shows the following and stops there: Can anyone suggest a command that will work? There is only about 35 MB of files there, but I spent hours yesterday trying to download through FTP. Thanks in advance.
Posted by sh4ka, 07-16-2007, 11:41 PM Login trough FTP, download the files, then login into the SQL database admin, and export all files into a .sql file, thats the easiest way to get a backup if you dont have ssh or backups from the control panel.

Posted by ramdak5000, 07-17-2007, 11:35 AM Ah, if only I had found your reply a few hours ago I tried wget --help, but somehow missed this command. In the end, I ended up uploading through FTP. Thanks for your suggestions, everyone.
