| Feb 7, 2013 at 14:58 | comment | added | taswyn | Just a note, make sure to set the recursion flag for the diff. This MOSTLY seemed to work, although there are a few oddities I haven't had time to isolate (for some reason it completed far earlier on our test server)... and the wget needs to get tuned if possible to only pull html/text files, and not random 200MB mp4s someone left up =P about 10k files later, lol... More importantly it's managed to catch a number of minor issues I wouldn't have been able to find manually and might have missed the attention of the individual web admins for those departments, so thank you for the help Stephen! | |

| Feb 4, 2013 at 23:34 | comment | added | taswyn | I'm fairly sure the maximum depth is 5, and -l can be used to restrict to lower (going by the documentation), but in either case thank you, I'm waiting for a couple fixes to go through first but will give it a try and see if it works tomorrow hopefully! | |
| Feb 4, 2013 at 22:37 | comment | added | Stephen Ostermiller♦ | Corrected the -R to -r. There is a -l for specifying the retrieval depth. The default depth is set to 5, but you can use -l to set it higher. | |

| Feb 4, 2013 at 20:02 | comment | added | taswyn | It's an enterprise (higher ed) level site with a number of "child"/department sub-sites, so it definitely needs to be recursive/spidering. For your second wget example, should that be a lower case r, and isn't wget's recursion limited to a depth of 5 layers (5 link jumps)? That would get everything fairly top level, hopefully, so I may pop Cygwin on here and try it a bit later today =) | |
