Last I looked, curl doesn't do recursive downloads. On the other hand, last I looked, wget doesn't do uploads. The difference in orientation can be seen in their default behavior: curl writes the content of a downloaded page to stdout; wget saves the page as a file in a directory associated with the site address. Generally, wget seems a better choice for site mirroring; curl seems better for scripted interactions with a website. pls ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
