[wellylug] wget syntax

[Mark Signal]

Hi

I am trying to use wget to keep some local files (not html) updated from a
webserver and I am having trouble with the syntax

basically I want wget to download any newer/non existing files from the
webserver direct into the working directory and any subdirectories.

The only way I seem to be able to get this to work is with....

wget http://websites/updates/list.txt

(gets an updated list of files to be compared - downloaded)

wget -N -c -q -nd -i list.txt -B http://website/updates/

this has several problems that I cant seem to work around.

it doesn't mirror subdirectories - if I add -r I have to take out -nd and
then it places all the downloaded files in a subdirectory starting with the
webservers url.

I have to maintain the list.txt file (I'm lazy).

I really want it to work like rsync -r  but with http

any suggestions?

cheers
