6 Startup File
Once you know how to change default settings of Wget through command
line arguments, you may wish to make some of those settings permanent.
You can do that in a convenient way by creating the Wget startup
file—.wgetrc
.
Besides .wgetrc
is the “main” initialization file, it is
convenient to have a special facility for storing passwords. Thus Wget
reads and interprets the contents of $HOME/.netrc
, if it finds
it. You can find .netrc
format in your system manuals.
Wget reads .wgetrc
upon startup, recognizing a limited set of
commands.
