I have a RaspberryPi. I want to download a big file with wget but the problem is that once I log into the Pi and use wget to download the file, it will abort the download when I close the session.How can I force wget to continue the download after the session is terminated?
Using wget over ssh with a terminated session
ssh;wget
Maybe you should have a look at screen Connect to the RaspberryPi via sshCreate new screen session screen -S mySessionStart wget wget http://example.org/file.bigDetach Screen Session strg+a strg+d Now you can exit from the ssh-session. After some time you want to check if the download has finished. On the RaspberryPi simply do screen -r to re-attach the screen sessionhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNU_Screen
