Copy web site (-c)

Syntax: -cDIRECTORY

Causes gw to copy an HTML tree to directory DIRECTORY instead of placing it in the database. This is useful for replicating a Web site on another machine. Images will also be copied, whereas they would not be inserted into the database.

A temporary database will be generated during the copy process and deleted when the copy is finished. The location of the temporary database will be DIRECTORY/_gwtmpdb. The database will not be deleted if the copy is interrupted so that it may be resumed.

e.g.: ``gw -c/tmp/copy http://www.mysite.com'' will copy the HTML tree under http://www.mysite.com to the directory /tmp/copy.
