wget download all files from one directory without following links etc.

wget-recursive-download-1st-dir.md

Recursively download all data within a directory (e.g. images, documentation,..)

..without following links like the index pages ../ or sub-directories
if you want to include sub-directories, change the -l option to >1, depending on how deep you want to follow the paths.

Example:

wget -r -c -np -l1 https://memory.loc.gov/master/mbrs/recording_preservation/manuals/

The URL in the example contains: Library of Congress recording preservation manuals - mostly PDF files on audio (legacy, analog) engineering/equipment; Consoles, Compressors, Pre-amplifiers, Recorders, everything you can imagine from the analog age - that's very en vouge right now in the recording scene/industry.

Options/Parameters explained:

• -r = recursive
• -c = continue (if you stopped or were stopped in between)
• -np = "no parent" as recommended in https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html#Recursive-Download
• -l1 = level (depth) set to one. change if there are sub directories you want to include. remember: parent directories are still excluded.

You may want to add an alias for that in your ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc.local or whatever shell you prefer -- e.g. alias dlrec .. or wget-dir etc.

enjoy.
