Hello,
Using the wget option [-O], it is possible to download a file to any chosen directory/filename. For example:

# wget http://mysite/puppylinuxstuff/picture.png -O /root/my-documents/my-pictures/filename.png

The BK script 'download_file', (which seems to be a GUI for wget) automatically downloads files to /root. I would like to be able to choose, at least, the target directory. Is there a way to do it using a command line and without having to modify the original script?
For example, I tried this but

:

Code: Select all

# download_file http://mysite/puppylinuxstuff/picture.png > /root/my-documents/my-pictures/filename.png

Thank you.
Cordialement.

Hi.

i do use wget-option --directory-prefix=$LP2BDL wherein $LP2BDL is the LazY Puppy boot directory to download the LazY Puppy sfs files from the RunScripts directly to the boot directory.

After download you can rename the downloaded file using bash command mv if needed.

Save the following as 'download_progress':

the 1st option is the URL to download, the 2nd (optional) parameter is the output filename, or output dir (if it's a dir)

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
# original script by technosaurus
#18012012: fixed to work on akita: no busybox, wget -c, added some translations, error checking, etc
 
#usage, cli options
{ 
	[ "$1" = "" ] && echo "Usage: $(basename $0) URL [output file]" && exit 1
if [ "$2" != "" ];then # add output file or dir, if given
	[ -f "$2" ] && OUTPUTFILE="-O$2"
	[ -d "$2" ] && OUTPUTFILE="-P$2"
else 
	OUTPUTFILE=''
fi
export OUTPUTFILE
}
# i18n, translations
{
[ $myLANG ] || myLANG=${LANGUAGE%% *}
[ $myLANG ] || myLANG=${LANG%_*}
case $myLANG in

Hello,
Thank you for answering...
@RSH,

After download you can rename the downloaded file using bash command mv if needed.

I wanted to use the BK script, because it tests if file exists, has already been completely or just partially downloaded and so on, displays a progress bar instead of the classical wget urxvt window and is already 'gettexted'. I could indeed simply move/rename the downloaded /root/file but I am not sure the file is always downloaded at this place, depending (perhaps?) on the running Puppy mode (?).
Question: is the file always downloaded at this place?

@sc0ttman,
The script by technosaurus is quite interesting but doesn't make all what I am waiting for. If downloaded file already exists, windows appears quickly and closes immediately, and user don't know exactly what happens.
Else: Sorry, I could not define the output directory/filename. File is downloaded in the script directory

For example (usage: techscript.sh URL [output file]):

Code: Select all

# ./techscript.sh http://mysite/puppylinuxstuff/picture.png  /root/my-documents/my-pictures/filename.png

Did I miss something?

EDIT:

he 1st option is the URL to download, the 2nd option is the output filename, or output dir (if it's a dir)

Okay, okay:

Code: Select all

# ./techscript.sh http://mysite/puppylinuxstuff/picture.png  /root/my-documents/my-pictures/

Cordialement.

Hello,
I found 'a' solution:

Question: is the file always downloaded at this place?

I well noticed it was not always the same place, probably depending on the rox-filer active directory window (?)

Code: Select all

# cd /root/my-documents/my-pictures/
# download_file http://mysite/puppylinuxstuff/picture.png

... and I find my downloaded file in /root/my-documents/my-pictures/

Thank you!
Cordialement.
