How to ignore specific type of files to download in wget?
How do I ignore .jpg, .png files in wget as I wanted to include only .html files.
I am trying:
wget -R index.html,*tiff,*pdf,*jpg -m http://example.com/
but it's not working.
Answer
Use the
--reject jpg,png --accept html
options to exclude/include files with certain extensions, see http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html#Recursive-Accept_002fReject-Options.
Put patterns with wildcard characters in quotes, otherwise your shell will expand them, see http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html#Types-of-Files
