What happens if you use the --mirror option of wget?
===== Original Message From Daniel Rees <dan@dwrees.co.uk> ===== I need to download some big files on a dial-up connection on a newly installed SuSE 7.2 system, so I want to use wget.
I cannot however seem to connect to any server - any ideas?
Example wget output:
dwr@linux:~ > wget ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/7.2/kernel/2.4.16/ k_deflt-2.4.16-22.i386.rpm --10:57:42-- ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/7.2/kernel/2.4.16/ k_deflt-2.4.16-22.i386.rpm => `k_deflt-2.4.16-22.i386.rpm' Connecting to ftp.gwdg.de:21... connected! Logging in as anonymous ... Logged in! ==> TYPE I ... done. ==> CWD linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/7.2/kernel/2.4.16 ... done.==> PORT ... done. ==> RETR k_deflt-2.4.16-22.i386.rpm ... Error in server response, closing control connection. Retrying.
The same thing happens for every server, every file I try.

I've solved the problem below by adding "passive_ftp = on" to ~/.wgetrc (although it's taken me a frustratingly long time to find that info on google!) Might be one for the unofficial FAQ? It seems that when you use SuSE's personal firewall, yast forgets to set wget to passive mode... On Thursday 07 February 2002 11:19, Daniel Rees wrote:

That's true - currently we do not touch /etc/wgetrc. But it might be a good enhancement...

I've e-mailed feedback@suse.de with that very suggestion (well, at least an SDB article on it). :) -- Daniel Rees e: dan@dwrees.co.uk w: http://www.dwrees.co.uk
