Multiple files download...

Post by madi2000 »

I found a problem with multiple files download... something like ....
ftp.testsize.com/somefolder/*

I wanted Download Station (or QGet) to download all files from specified directory... (testes /*, /*.*, / - and none worked :( ) - i wanted to download whole repository (about 4000 files).. Am I doing something wrong?

I found solution for this problem by manually setting up wget (from console :)) download (which i must say gives much more options - like ability to download a list of files from diferent ftp sites without adding them one by one...)

But does any one know if it possible by QGet (Download Station)?

Dear Madi
I'm not sure if I get your point. (Correct me if I misunderstood)

If you want to use the wildcard setting for FTP download to save your time, the asterisk sign "*" needs to be used for the files with similar naming. ex: hello/myphoto01.jpg, hello/myphoto02.jpg, .... hello/myphoto50.jpg.

then you can define the rule as myphoto(*).jpg; and please define the *=2 digits; the range of *=01~50

Basically the setting is to simplify the duplicated FTP command for QNAP NAS, so you may not use the command like: hello/* or hello/*.*
(You can see detail instruction & example in on-line help or the "help" in QGet program)

Cheers

That explains everything... i'm used to wildcard meaning wildcards :) not just simple 1/2 digit couter :)

so problem stays if you want to download (add such task to QGet/Download Station) whole folder from FTP (lots of files with diffrent names)

Maybe you should use wget instead.
ssh to the TS, go to the folder where you want to download your stuff. And type:

Code: Select all

wget -r --user=<user> --password=<password> ftp://<your.ftp.server>/<optional_folder>/*

Just use putty to ssh to the TS:

Be sure to enable ssh (in system tools ==> remote login)

Host Name (or IP address) = <your QNAS IP address>
Port = 22

The TS will come back with user ==> fill in admin <enter>
password ==> fill in the same password as your webpage password

your logged in when you see [~] #

Succes!
