<pre class="moz-quote-pre">Hi all, but especially Mick,
Last year Mick gave a talk on recovering the old Schnews website and producing a static version of it by a certain clever use of curl or wget.
What’s the best command to get a complete functional static version of the entirety of a website for all linked to content?
I ask because I need to grab a site for someone that’s about to ‘go dark’ and no one can get the details to login and get to the file system side of things.
Cheers,
Mike.
