How to download forum attachment from CLI? [Solved]

#1 Post by mavrothal »

Anybody knows a tool/command (wget, curl etc) or a script that can download a forum attachment?
Not the whole forum page or a specific thread or a specific post.
Just a specific attachment.
The attachments that you get from this kind of links

Hi mavrothal,

For me this works:

Code: Select all

 wget -O pwget-spanish.tar.gz http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=79719
So in this solution you have to know the actual name of the attached file, in the example "pwget-spanish.tar.gz"
Maybe that is not what you are looking for. But it works :wink:

Dunno if it's also possible with wget, but cURL can get the actual filename:

Code: Select all

curl -O -J "http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=79719"
Btw, perhaps this might help as well.

No, but I gave my old drum kit away for free to a music store collecting instruments for refugees! :wink:

Thank you all.
wget and curl should suffice.
