Wow!!! Curl works even more simply!!! For my purposes, it works like this: curl -u username:password -O -f www.loc.gov/nls/braille/12269v[01-04].brf of course substituting your username and password. You can use quotes around the url or not--either way. As with the script with wget, if you overestimate the number of volumes, you just get 404 errors on the volumes that don't exist. This also apparently can be used for uploads onto servers, which may interest some people. This approach is most definitely faster, if you know the book number, than going there in lynx and downloading each file!!! Thanks so much for both the script approach and curl!!! I like having options!!! -- Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
