Hi,

Does anyone have any recommendations for a linux program that clones/rips existing websites?

Numerous ones exist for windows, but Id rather not use it.

Thanks,
BT

wget? ;)

If that's too "command line" for you, have a look at HTTrack (http://www.httrack.com/), which also has a web based GUI, WebHTTrack.

HTH,

Wow...I never thought of WGET......I'll give it a shot. httrack looks excellent also.

Thank you for the recommendations.

Yeah, wget is a handy little tool, once you make your way through the man page. :)

Thank you for the recommendations.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think firefox has the feature for that :-k

Well, Firefox can save one page and all images but it cannot crawl a structure of several pages and save all of them.

I actually want to clone our own website.....We're spinning off a new division and if I take our page and just do some minor graphics alterations and text edits, we can have a working page (quickly)with a familiar layout everyones used to and I dont even have to go to IT to beg them for the passwords to the existing account and justify what/why I need it. ;)
