Need to scrape images from website
Posted on 2014-02-10
I have a client with an existing website. He is unhappy with his current designer and would like to use me. I have access to his product database, but he was never given website access (FTP) credentials, so I cannot directly access the 10,000+ images he has for his site.
The database gives me the relative paths to all images.
Is there some script I can write that will:
1. parse through rows of a file
2. navigate to the image
3. save the image with the same relative path structure
...so that I can quickly get all the images I need for a site demo?
Thanks!

Try using httrack. You can download the images in the same folder structure they currently are in. http://www.httrack.com/
+1 for httrack. I've used it for exactly the kind of thing you need. IIRC it is Windows-only. Runs on your laptop. Much easier than trying to do this with a server-to-server PHP script!

There is a Linux version of HTTrack. http://www.httrack.com/ WinHTTrack is the Windows version and is available on the same page.
