I am trying to download all files from a user authentication, password protected https site, with a particular extension (.bam). The files are ~20GB each and I am not sure if the below is the best way to do it. I am also not sure how to direct the downloaded files to a folder as well as external drive. Thank you :).
Code:
while true
do
printf "Files down loading please wait "
wget --http-user cmccabe --http -passwd xxxx*** -r -A "*.bam" -q --show-progress --directory-prefix=C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\Example --directory-prefix=E:\WD\files https://test.xxxx.com/xxxxx.aspx
printf "Files downloaded "
done
