There was post on here a while back about using shell to read a directory and then download everything with the X extension.

Anyone? I looked and didnt see it.

foreach file in `ls -ltr directory | awk '{print $9}' | grep X` do cp $file .; done;

nope that aint it.

It was to read a remote dir then suck all files that were under that. We did it to this site to try to get all the images so maybe thats why the thread is gone.

I don't know about doing it within the shell, but check out curl

I have googled but have yet to find an example of how to do this again.

It's now just a matter of principle to get it done!
