===== Howto download on FixCentral =====

You have multiple choices, **Download Director**, **ftps**, **https**

If you choose ftps, then you can also use **sftp**
  sftp -o "ProxyCommand connect-proxy -H proxy.ABCD.com:80 %h %p" wakao@delivery04.dhe.ibm.com
  then: mget *

Often the only usable protocol is https, but with many files to download it can be boring!

On solution is to choose https, and save the page as .htm

Then extract using a script the filename and location, and start the download with curl or wget

**Download all files from a folder:**
<cli prompt='#'>
# wget --no-parent -r http://WEBSITE.com/DIRECTORY
</cli>

__Ex:__

Using **WGET**
<code>
export https_proxy=http://proxy1:8080/
cnt=0
for i in $(grep bff aix7200.htm | cut -d'href' -f2- | cut -d ' ' -f1 | sed 's/"/\ /g' | awk '{print $2}' | sort -u)
do
  echo "################### $i  $cnt "
  (( cnt = cnt + 1 ))
  filename=$(echo $i | rev | cut -d'/' -f1 | rev)
  if [ -f $filename ]
  then
    echo "==== file exist"
  else
    wget -e use_proxy=on --no-check-certificate --debug --no-glob --show-progress $i
  fi
done
</code>

Using **CURL**
<code>
export https_proxy=http://proxy1:8080/
cnt=0
for i in $(grep bff aix7200.htm | cut -d'href' -f2- | cut -d ' ' -f1 | sed 's/"/\ /g' | awk '{print $2}' | sort -u)
do
  echo "################### $i  $cnt "
  (( cnt = cnt + 1 ))
  filename=$(echo $i | rev | cut -d'/' -f1 | rev)
  if [ -f $filename ]
  then
    echo "==== file exist"
  else
    curl --insecure --proxy proxy1:8080 $i -o $filename
  fi
done
</code>

Using **Recursive commands**

Example of download using WGET recursively on 3 level
  wget -r -l3 --no-parent https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/
  
Example of download using LFTP
  lftp -c "open http://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/; mirror"
