Hi, Ubuntu users.

oh thanks. wget then URL right ? how about the script on how to organize the file system according to its date ?

By "organize the file system image according to date," I assume you mean "set the last-modified date on the downloaded file."

wget can do that. See the 'timestamping' section of the wget man page.

You can separately change a file's date anytime using the touch command. See http://askubuntu.com/questions/62492...ated-of-a-file

If you mean "create directory base/year/month/day/", you can use date to get the date. Read man date for precise instructions. You can store year, month and day in bash variables and then use wget with the option

wget --directory-prefix=$DocumentRoot/$year/$month/$day
