Question

Is there a quick & easy way to grab TWikiDotOrg FileAttachments from the command line on my server?

I often try to WGET a new plugin using the link location copied from twiki.org and then running wget {URL}.

For example: to wget the new TWikiKoalaSkin.tgz from KoalaSkin I run

wget http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/viewfile/Plugins/KoalaSkin?rev=37;filename=TWikiKoalaSkin.tgz

and the resulting file on my server is:

KoalaSkin?template=oopsaccessdenied;def=no_such_attachment;param1=viewfile;param2?=

Notice the oopsaccessdenied in the file name.

Is there a quick & easy way to grab TWikiDotOrg FileAttachments from the command line ?

Sorry, we block scripted access to TWiki scripts on twiki.org for performance reasons. Please access the packages via the pub URL instead. The download links in the queries point to the direct URLs. In your case, use this link:

wget http://twiki.org/p/pub/Plugins/KoalaSkin/TWikiKoalaSkin.tgz

E.g. on twiki.org, the PUBURL is /p/pub

Hi Peter, this seems to not be working any longer (after the server upgrade?)..

The link I'm trying is:

wget http://twiki.org/p/pub/Plugins/VotePlugin/VotePlugin.tgz

Use:

wget -U "xxx" http://twiki.org/p/pub/Plugins/VotePlugin/VotePlugin.tgz

that did it, thanks Arthur! now I'm off to wget one of your plugins..

wget -U "xxx" http://twiki.org/p/pub/Plugins/FormPlugin/FormPlugin.zip
