NAME
webmirror - Simple WWW mirror program
SYNOPSIS
webmirror [--from URL] [--to directory] [--proxy] [--checklinks]
[--verbose]
DESCRIPTION
This program can be used to mirror parts of WWW servers to a local directory. The traversal of the remote pages is recursive, that is, linked pages are mirrored, too, if they start with the same prefix. For example, if you mirror http://www.math.fu-berlin.de/~leitner/perl/
, then http://www.math.fu-berlin.de/~leitner/perl/webmirror
would be mirrored, too, but http://www.math.fu-berlin.de/~leitner/
would not. These are the meanings of the options:
- --from <URL>
-
Where to mirror from. This has to be an HTTP URL.
- --to <directory>
-
Where to put the mirrored files.
- --proxy
-
Use the WWW proxy settings from the environment (http_proxy, no_proxy). You should not use this if your proxy is a caching proxy, only if it is a firewall proxy. Otherwise you may mirror old versions of the pages.
- --checklinks
-
Check not only links that have the same prefix but one level of other links, too. This is very useful for checking your own pages for invalid outbound links.
- --verbose
-
Print debugging information.
DIAGNOSTICS
webmirror normally prints only errors, for example:
Getting http://www.math.fu-berlin.de/~leitner/mutt/idnex.html
Error: 404 not found
Linked from: http://www.math.fu-berlin.de/~leitner/index.html
