gwget

Wget based on file list

The tool can (for example) mirror a media folder to a staging or developer server from the current live, over standard http requests, when scp is way too slow, creating tarball is not an option because of space requirements, VPN makes it hard to run tar | tar or rsync.

Usage

source$ cd ~/web/media
source$ find . -type f | grep -v '.thumb' | grep -v product/cache | sed 's#^./##' > ~/media.txt

scp media.txt onto the target server with a gwget binary

target$ cd ~/web/media
target$ ~/gwget ~/media.txt https://www.somesite.com/media/
