Quoting Alex Charrett <alex@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:
Quoting Rob Beard:I guess I'm looknig for something like a web based download manager. My knowledge of PHP at the moment is very sketchy (i.e. non existent!) so Iwassomeone might know something that would do the job?For a really quick, dirty and not very elegant bit of perl to do the job: #!/usr/bin/perl use CGI qw(param); $url=param("url"); system("cd /writeable/dir;nohup wget $url < /dev/null &"); print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n"; print "Now downloading $url\n";
Cheers, that might do the job. I take it I just put that in a file, point the browser at the remote end to this file? How do I tell it what filename to use, would I just add something to the end of the url? I don't mind how elegant it is, just want something to start it downloaded so when I get home it should hopefully be finished.
