There is no option to ignore files in wget based on the file list. It is preferred to use regex ( --reject-regex ) or list on command line ( -R rejlist ), if you can define the files this way.

Basic Wget command syntax Wget downloads the PDF to the current directory. By default, Wget pulls files from the specific URL and places them in the current working directory. Users can specify a different destination location by using the -P option followed by the folder to store the downloaded file.

It's used by typing wget followed by the URL of the file you want to download, for example wget [options] http://example.com/file.txt . In this example, we use the wget command to download a file named 'file. txt' from a website 'example.com'. The command fetches the file and saves it in your current directory.

The [URL] flag points to the address of the directory, file, or webpage that you wish to download.
