Very clear! I was getting really overwhelmed by the tutorials out there but this was really simple.
This was the most strong tool, with the outmost easiest commands for doing great change, thanks for the great tutorial, got my webpage now
This was very detailed and easy to follow. Thank you so much :)
Glad it was helpful!
@@TonyTeachesTech reached out to you through your website contact information, could you please contact me when you get time, I have a question about using wget. Thanks Jason
@@TonyTeachesTech But can the copied version of the website keep taking data and info as the real website does?
Thanks, very clear and concise I appreciate you also explaining what terms and commands mean rather than telling everyone to just copy what you're doing. Quick question: is there a way to see the size before you commit to downloading?
facts i was thinking the same thing
Good quality. Explanation understandable and easy to follow. Thanks for the video.
thanks so much my guy!
it's really nice that you take your time, as most don't.
really good for dump file sites. :P
Great, easy to understand tutorial!
Thanks!
Amazing.
Qs:
1. If you then want to move the files to a different location or even different computer, how do you update the links to follow that location transition?
2. In addition, is there a way to then present a whole website you have designed, then fetched with wget, in an online portfolio somehow?
Any help is appreciated 🙏
P.S. I noticed you typed convert-link without an s... Does it either work with or without it?
As soon as I heard your accent...
I had to find out where you're from...
On your website I see that you're from Baltimore (same here).
Pretty cool. Wish you nothing but the best.
Thanks...very useful tool. In your demo, if I just use the mirror augument, iwill I get the same result if I copy the folders created by WGET to my online host, will the site work online?
Very well explained and demoed. Very useful. Thanks man.
You’re welcome!
@@TonyTeachesTech But can the copied version of the website keep taking data and info as the real website does?
Thats amazingly GROOVY!!! In the case of downloading the entire website, does it also capture the WP databases? It seems like it does or the WP site wouldn't be functional on the local machine? Would this be a good way to backup WP websites? Would they still function if they were restored onto the web server? Also why would a WP site be functional on your mac? As you can see, all of these questions make the assumption that the website you downloaded was indeed a WP site!!!! Thanks again!!!!
I think I understand?! all the website asserts are being dragged out of the databases and you end up with a static sit after the download?
This only captures a static snapshot of the website. No database or backend functionality is captured
Newb here - What are the security considerations and how do you neutralize potential malware under these circumstances?
You would have to be more specific. You mean getting malware from downloading a web page? If so only download pages from sites you trust. I'm pretty sure any ads or links that might normally lead to malware or suspicious sites would be broken since your telling wget to convert all the links to your local download of the site and since ad links lead to external pages it will have nothing to link to.
excellent video...thanks for sharing the knowledge .
Very good explanation thank you :)
Thanks!! That was I needed for my work project! I suscribed to your channel as well!!
Thanks for the sub Samy :)
I love you
@@TonyTeachesTech But can the copied version of the website keep taking data and info as the real website does?
Thank you for the tutorial, but what if the website gets taken down, is there a way to save the contents of the website, eg the videos and images from that website and download it on my desktop
That’s exactly what this does?
@@tissoeh what if the web has cookies or has payments
Awesome video. One question, what do you do if a website requires you to sign in first?
What if the website required a login to access its content?
Hey Tony, awesome work. Thanks. Can you show the same for windows, please? Thanks
Thank you. Clear. Simple. Idiot proof. Even I could follow it.
to the point. excellent video, helped me a lot!
Amazing video! Thank you very much!
Hi this was very easy to understand,but does it work on a server, like can you download a whole server like this??

Is there a way to link a file for download? From those websites? For example if i was wanting to mirror a site exactly but have a different local location to download from?
Hopefully that make sense.
Thanks for the video, mate !!!
One question: Will I be able to access those webpages if the WEBSITE shutdowns in the future ??
Most likely yes since you'll have a static copy that you have saved off with wget
If the source website is in Wordpress, Shouldn't the Wget list down "Index.php" instead of "index.html" ? Please advise how can i download exact mirror of the files.
You are awesome! You get a sticky star!

Is an active internet connection required to open he urls once copied? I was hoping to copy every page of a website into pdf files in categories just like it shows on the original website.

Is it possible to log in to a website with wget prior to crawling for access to secured content?
I don't think so
You get log in to the site with your normal browser to get a cookie, copy the cookie from your browser, and then pass the cookie file as argument to wget.
