Hi Istvan,

I just wanted to some additional notes to my last response. Most scripts that are run via wget can be used with the lynx or curl command like so:

lynx -dump http://domain.com/folder/script.php?dl=file

curl http://domain.com/folder/script.php?dl=file

If you need further assistance, please feel free to contact us.

Thank you!

Hello Istvan,

Thanks for posting your question. I'm sorry for your troubles with your cron job. I'm more than happy to assist you.

In a shared environment, you security purposes, we have disabled wget from being able to be ran in a cron job.

You will not be able to use wget. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact us.

Thank you!
