Introduction

The wget command can be used to download files and directories through FTP. This method is useful for downloading backup files or directories such as .rvsitebuilder.


Prerequisites

  • FTP server access
  • Valid FTP username and password
  • wget package is installed on the server

Implementation

wget + ftp download syntax

You can download it in any way. I used an FTP download.

  • Syntax:
    wget -r ftp://USERNAME:PASSWORD@IPADDRESS/.rvsitebuilder
  • Example:
    wget -r ftp://hemanth:qweqwe@1.1.1.1/.rvsitebuilder
  • All the RVsitebuilder files will be downloaded.

Conclusion

Using wget with FTP syntax allows recursive downloading of directories and files directly from a remote FTP server.
