Wget for VMS - A WWW (FTP and HTTP) File Retrieval Utility

Excerpt from the original Wget README file

GNU Wget is a free utility for non-interactive download of files from the Web. It supports HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols, as well as retrieval through HTTP proxies.

It can follow links in HTML pages and create local versions of remote web sites, fully recreating the directory structure of the original site. This is sometimes referred to as "recursive downloading." While doing that, Wget respects the Robot Exclusion Standard (/robots.txt). Wget can be instructed to convert the links in downloaded HTML files to the local files for offline viewing.

Recursive downloading also works with FTP, where Wget can retrieve a hierarchy of directories and files.

GNU Wget Source (FTP and HTTP)

• https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/ - GNU Wget main page.
• https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/ - Wget Source (HTTPS).
• ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/ - Wget Source (FTP).

  The Zip archive for this kit was created using the Zip "-V" option to preserve the VMS file attributes, but the source files in this Zip archive should be usable on a non-VMS system.

  For non-VAX architectures, the complete kit includes executables built without SSL support and executables built with VSI SSL3.
