I'd like to batch download .torrent files from a FTP server (e.g. ftp://ftp.fau.de/gimp/gimp/) with one command or one click in a GUI (after entering the hostname and the root directory). The aim is to have all the .torrent file under a root on the FTP server in a directory so that they can be batch added to a torrent client, like Deluge GTK.
In Filezilla I still have to open all directories and click on all of the torrent files.
wget supports recursive download and accept lists which should cover this use case.
wget -r -np -A "*.torrent" ftp://ftp.fau.de/gimp/gimp/
The file-extension should be specified.
The command will recursively download all files ending in torrent from ftp://ftp.fau.de/gimp/gimp/ .
If you want to remove the directory structure and have all files in the current working direcotory add -nd to the argument list.
If you want to skip downloads for files which already exist in the target directory, add -nc to the argument list.
