pgdl is a program for viewing and accessing directory listing webpage in terminal.
Browsing files on directory listings like this is often annoying and hard to find the files we want.
pgdl provids a simple interface for browsing and downloading the files in web-engine-generated directory listings.
by cabal:
cabal update
cabal install pgdl
In case of the versions of dependencies cannot be resolved, you may need to rm -rf ~/.ghc
.
via nix:
git clone https://github.com/sifmelcara/pgdl.git
cd pgdl
nix-env -i -f pgdl.nix
pgdl https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/
or simply type pgdl
if you have set servpath attribute in the config file (config file will be explained later).
'/' for file searching
press Enter to download the selected file
press 'q' to quit the program
press 'd' to delete currently selected file (which have been downloaded)
press Meta+Enter to resume the download progress of the currently selected file (like curl -C
does)
If you want to access webpage that uses basic authentication, you should at least set username attribute in config file. (if password is not set, you will need to enter password manually when you launch the program)
