How to automatically download all my pics from my website not using FTP?

Question

On one free web-hosted place I build a site, well not actually a site, but just uploaded a folder with many sub folders inside containing many pictures. Now, I have discovered that this hosting is going to close soon and they gave their users one month t save all the materials. Of course, i can enter each folder manually and use "Save as" in my browser, but I wonder how I could do that automatically. Is there any such way? By the way it shouldn't be FTP - it doesn't work there.

Answer 1

one word: wget

Answer 2

Assuming you don't have any kind of command line access to your web host, you could use wget to download the images from your site.

Something like wget -r -A .jpg,.gif,.png where -r mean recursive (i.e. descend into subdirectories) and -A means filter for ("accept") files ending with the comma-separated list of extensions.
