Wget Help please

Trying to download a lot of images from a website but it has directory listing blocked so I can't just use ' wget - rnp www.domainname.net/images '

The images go from :
http://www.domainname.net/images/001.jpg

to http://www.domainname.net/images/250.jpg

Is there any commandline switch I can use to download 001.jpg to 250.jpg

Thanks.

I'm using the win32 version of wget by the way

use a batch file to get each one individually ? have a counter that increments for each image.

Put all the URLs in a txt file (easy enough to copy and paste then change number in 250 lines). Then use wget -i filelist.txt

Asuming a bash shell save this as a shell script and run it:

#!/bin/bash

for ((i = 1; i <= 250; i++))
do
    wget http://www.domainname.net/images/$i.jpg
done

This will need minor modification if the names are '001.jpg' and not '1.jpg'

yes you forgot to take leading zeros into account which can be inserted using (s)printf:

this should work on the command line:

perl -e 'for ($i=1;$i<251;$i++){$command = sprintf ("wget http://www.domainname.net/images/%03d.jpg",$i);$cmd= `$command`;}'

he said he was using the win32 version though.

I ended up using the win32 version of curl which allowed me to use the following command:

curl -f -O "http://www.domainname.net/images/[001-240].jpg"

Thanks for the suggestions though.
