need wget binary transfer mode
|
|
|
I use wget to get some file:
ASCII transfer mode. Looking at the output from "wget --help", I can
not find any option to be used for binary mode.

GNU Wget 1.7 |
Thank you,

The downloaded file does not work. So I conclude that the wget uses
ASCII transfer mode. Looking at the output from "wget --help", I can
not find any option to be used for binary mode.

Did you use ftp(1) to confirm that the problem is wget(1) and that the
source file is not corrupt??

It is a good question. The username anonymous does not work yet. I just
asked vendor for user/password to ftp.
But how could we tell wget to use BIN or ASC? or does it decide based
on the type of the file?

Then how would wget be able to fetch the file at all? |

Hi Tony,
John ask me to use ftp to confirm whether the problem is from the file
itself or not.

Right, but previously you claimed that wget had already
downloaded from the URL in question, and that the
resulting file wasn't what you expected.
Then you said that anonymous ftp doesn't work, and you
don't have an account/password for ftp either.
So the question remains: if neither account-based nor
anonymous FTP is currently possible, how did wget manage
to download from the same FTP site before?

I don't think you need to specify binary or ascii for wget. It'll just |
get whatever it is... For example, I tried to get the Google graphic:
$ wget http://www.google.com/intl/en/images/logo.gif
--hh:mm:ss-- http://www.google.com/intl/en/images/logo.gif
=> `logo.gif'
Resolving www.google.com...
Connecting to www.google.com[...]:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
Length: 8,558 [image/gif]
100%[====================================>] 8,558 --.--K/s
hh:mm:ss (90.84 KB/s) - `logo.gif' saved [8558/8558]
$ file logo.gif
logo.gif: GIF image data, version 89a, 276 x 110
See? logo.gif is a graphic file - binary, right? But I didn't have to
tell wget that it was binary.
Maybe you had a broken code.tgz. Did you try running "file code.tgz" to
perform a sanity check?

That the anonymous does not work is where the bizzare comes from.
file iSCSI_SANsurfer_4_03_17_solarisSparc_package.tgz
iSCSI_SANsurfer_4_03_17_solarisSparc_package.tgz: gzip compressed
