- Features
- 1. Copy and paste full path names into WebFetch.
- 2. Create subdirectories.
- 3. Allow multiple downloads through command files.
- 4. Saves a record of downloaded files.
-
- 1. Copy and paste full path names into WebFetch.
- By using Windows standard powerkeys (ctrl-insert to copy, shift-insert to
- paste). Paste the full path in the Website Name box and then either hit the
- tab key, or click on the box.
-
- 2. Create subdirectories.
- If the subdirectory named in the D/L name does not exist, WebFetch will ask
- if you want to create the directory.
-
- 3. Allow multiple downloades through command files.
- WebFetch allows three different ways to "automatically" download one or
- more webpages at a time.
- - From the command line (Run menu, or as an item in a group) you call
- Webfetch with parameters that identify the full http path of the webpage or
- file, where to save it on your hard drive, and four optional parameters : run
- as an icon, D/L referenced graphics, Strip HTTP headers, and Overwrite
- existing files (the last three work similarly as the options on the WebFetch
- main screen).
-
- ex: webfetch -i -g -o -s http://www.yahoo.htm/ c:\temp\yahoo.htm
-
- Where the options -i(icon only), -g(D/L graphics), -o (overwrite existing
- files) and -s (Strip HTTP headers) are optional, but the full URL name and DOS
- filename are required.
-
- - From the command line you can pass the name of a "command" file that is a
- text file containing parameters like above, with one job per line.
-
- ex : /f weblog.txt
-
- where the /f parameter tells WebFetch to open and read the contents of the
- weblog.txt file and execute each line separately.
-
- example of contents :
- -i -g -o -s http://www.yahoo.htm/ c:\temp\yahoo.htm
- -i -g -s http://www.cnet.com/Content/Features/Techno/Gif89/ c:\temp\tech.htm
-
- - From WebFetch, you click on the "Auto Req..." and choose the command file
- to run automatically. It has the same format as in the previous section.
-
- 4. Saves a record of downloaded files.
- WebFetch saves a record of every file it downloads in a file named
- "weblog.txt". The format is the same as the command file mentioned in 3.
