How can I automatically download multiple sites through Coda?

Solution 1:

You could easily use wget for this and script it any which way you like. Here's a quick example of how you could use it to download and overwrite one of your sites in one line:

wget ~/Sites/domain/ ftp://[username]:[password]@ftp.example.com/www/

So to do multiple websites you would use:

wget -P ~/Sites/ -i sites.txt

And your text file might look something like this:

ftp://username:[email protected]/www/
ftp://username:[email protected]/www/
ftp://username:[email protected]/www/

From the wget man page:

Recursive download:
  -r,  --recursive          specify recursive download.
  -l,  --level=NUMBER       maximum recursion depth (inf or 0 for infinite).

  -k,  --convert-links      make links in downloaded HTML or CSS point to
                            local files.
  -K,  --backup-converted   before converting file X, back up as X.orig.
  -m,  --mirror             shortcut for -N -r -l inf --no-remove-listing.
  -p,  --page-requisites    get all images, etc. needed to display HTML page.
