I have discovered the wget and this command is awesome.
In my tests, I've tried to download an entire folder from a Github repository, but the folder does not download like a folder, the download file is an archive with no extension.
Example:
wget https://github.com/peachananr/onepage-scroll/tree/master/Demo
Note: I want the files in this folder.
There's a way?
Thanks!

The file that wget downloaded is actually an html page that is the "view" that you see when you access the URL (that you had given).
The github webpage is just a "frontend" to the git code. To access the code, you need to either access the github link via GIT, or you can download the various released versions of the software from the Releases page of onepage-scroll
That said, you can take a look at this: Download a single folder or directory from a GitHub repo
Hope this helps.

this is such a beginners question but nevertheless wanted some of your input.
I tried installing SublimeText4 and noticed that there is no .dmg file associated with it, all i get .zip - is this normal? Usually with SBT3 and Pycharm I was used to at least some 'install' procedures.
Kind of new to Mac OS, so thanks for the help.
The DMG approach is common, but in this case, the ZIP file has the application. Often the browser will automatically unzip it for you, but if not, just double click on the ZIP file and the application will be extracted for you. Then you can just drag the app extracted from the ZIP file to your “Applications” folder and you are done.

This is probably really simply and obvious, but I'm not very familiar with Filezilla and can't afford a mistake.
I need to copy a file from the server to my desktop without actually removing it from the server - the live site needs to remain live as it currently stands. There is no "Copy" option, so I'm wondering if "Download" is the option I need to use.. but I need to ensure that "Downloading" the files will not actually remove them from the server.
Basically, I need to save a copy of the site without actually disturbing or disrupting it online.
Open fileZilla, Connect to your server, you will see Remote Site and Local site. Navigate to your desktop on local site window( this will change the location where the file will be downloaded). Double click/(right click and select download) on the file you want to download on the remote site window.
Selecting "Download" or doubleclicking the file will not delete it from the server.
Try to select the folder or the file, and drop it on your desktop folder on the left side !
It should be good !

hey guys so im using Ubuntu and im having a issue finding the files using the ln command
currently i have a folder called myName.2 within it are 3 folders notes, assignments and web.
within notes i created 3 files called linux.txt, unix.txt and shell.txt, now i have redirected myself so im in the folder web and want to create hard links to these files here, so for example i type the command
ln /home/admin/3000/Assignment1/myName.2/notes/linux.txt
however the terminal is telling me,
ln: accessing `/home/admin/3000/Assignment1/myName.2/notes/linux.txt': No such file or directory
i went to the properties of the linux text file and copy and pasted the path straight from there
any hints would be much appreciated thanks!
It's easy to make typos, and simpler to use relative paths. Try:
ln ../notes/linux.txt
from inside the web directory.

I puts all my dotfiles in $HOME/Dropbox/dotfiles
and make a hard link(I think it's the way to go, and for instance vim does't load soft link rc file)
ln $HOME/Dropbox/dotfiles/.vimrc $HOME/.vimrc
The problem is as long as I make change to the file in the dropbox directories, everything works as expected. But when I change the hard link file(which is $HOME/.vimrc), the original file changes accordingly, but dropbox won't sync!!(same as iCloud mobile document folder)
Any idea?
Use soft links. Hard links make it so that Dropbox can't tell when the file is updated. This is because Dropbox doesn't poll the contents of every single file you have, it just looks at modification dates on the files located in your Dropbox.
This is exactly what I use for syncing my dot files with Dropbox:
$ ln -s ~/Dropbox/dotfiles/.vimrc .vimrc
and vim still loads the soft-linked vimrc file.
