Windows to HTTrack for Linux?
See the related FAQ:
Q: Can I copy a project to another computer/system?
Can I then update it ?A: Absolutely! You can keep your HTTrack favorite
folder (C:\My Web Sites) in your local hard disk, copy
it for a friend, and possibly update it, and then
bring it back!
You can copy individual folders (projects), too:
exchange your favorite websites with your friends, or
send an old version of a site to someone who has a
faster connection, and ask him to update it!
Note: Export (Windows <-> Linux)
The file and cache structure is compatible between
Linux/Windows, but you may have to do some changes,
like the path
Windows -> Linux/Unix :
Copy (in binary mode) the entire folder and then to
update it, enter into it and do a
httrack --update -O ./
Note: You can then safely replace the existing folder
(under Windows) with this one, because the Linux/Unix
version did not change any options
Note: If you often switch between Windows/Linux with
the same project, it might be a good idea to edit the
hts-cache/doit.log file and delete old "-O" entries,
because each time you do a httrack --update -O ./ an
entry is added, causing the command line to be long
Linux/Unix -> Windows :
Copy (in binary mode) the entire folder in your
favorite Web mirror folder. Then, select this project,
AND retype ALL URLs AND redefine all options as if you
were creating a new project. This is necessary because
the profile (winprofile.ini) has not been created with
the Linux/Unix version. But do not be afraid,
WinHTTrack will use cached files to update the
project!
