Download recursive directories with wget using Username & Password for FTP
Apr 26th
Using ftp to download multiple files using ‘mget’ command is pretty common, however it downloads files from current directory only. But if you need to download recursive directories with all its content then? And specially when you don’t have shell access to the remote machine and you don’t have access to archive the targeted folder?
In such situation you can use ‘wget’ to download all recursive directories by providing your ftp details. For example:
wget -rc --user='ftpusername' --password='ftppassword' ftp://domain.com/directory_path/
Displaying information about your git repository
Nov 12th
Want to see information about your git repository?
Based on a discussion here Duane Johnson wrote a very useful bash script. I am using this script from months and would like to share with you. You can download this script here(git-info.txt (483)).
You can also add an alias like below, so that I can be a accessed by a single command “gitinfo”
alias gitinfo="/home/akhil/git-info.txt"
When you run this script from your working copy it displays:
- Remote URL
- Remote Branches
- Local Branches
- Configuration (.git/config)
- Most Recent Commit
Isn’t it useful, give it a try
