[Hidden-tech] downloading an entire web directory

[B. Kimo Lee]

Hi Glenn,

Here's a tip: You might want to compress the directory contents into a tar.gz file first.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10757566/how-to-compress-a-directory-into-a-tar-gz-file-from-command-line

You didn't mention whether this is on a server you have access to, but if so, you could probably do it from the hosting control panel. For instance, on a WHM/cPanel Linux box, you could use the File Manager in cPanel to compress the directories contents and download it.

Best,
Kimo
