I've got a question that ju-ust borders on a ports question enough that I feel OK bringing it here. There is a server that has a single data file that we would like to download daily. This used to be done via a cron script and ftp. However, the server recently stopped allowing anonymous logins... but it is wide open under http. We want to still get this _one_ file, but the only people here with the relations and the reasons to get the ftp access to be changed back won't do it. So, I will need to use http. So, my questions are: 1) A quick look at lynx has not revealled to me a quick and dirty way to get it to download it in a script. Anyone familiar enough with lynx to show me how I would do it? 2) There are a number of mirror type utilities in the ports. However, I am pressed for space on my hard drive (and actually would rather do this on a different machine) and think that an elaborate mirror utility is overkill. Are there any web utilities that would be reasonable for downlioading _ONE_ file a day? -- Crist J.
