Question

Let’s say I’ve got:

http://svnserver/repoid/appname/language/module/

I’m trying to download everything below module node, unfortunately page contains links to both – items below and items above in hierarchy (much like bash ls -ltr output). So when I use wget with recursive download option I end up with complete website (svn repository) downloaded and not only the module I need.

Is there any trick to prevent wget from following links that point to parent elements?

Answer 1

Sounds like you are looking for the --no-parent parameter.

From the output of wget --help

 -np, --no-parent                 don't ascend to the parent directory.
