nhatminh1209 Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Anyone ever confused about how can we suft website just by command line? I've searched all the web and only find powercmd (which need install quite hard)? Anyone have some solution for this?
Yzöwl Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 I would suggest using a Web Browser!Could you please try to explain better what it is you are trying to achieve.
geezery Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 (edited) The only prog I know is lynx. I downloaded the compiled files here, and the .bat file also. Then I just edited the .bat file to suit my needs and here is the result.http://www.pervalidus.net/cygwin/lynx/ Edited September 8, 2007 by geezery
nhatminh1209 Posted September 9, 2007 Author Posted September 9, 2007 I would suggest using a Web Browser!Could you please try to explain better what it is you are trying to achieveI setup a connection in my windowsXP. So when I was away from my box at office. I still connect to my box using ssh or telnet to get my files and to some other stuff. When I doing with my file, I need some soft from net. I need to suft some website but useless. There're many reason why coder've given this function in Linux, right?The problem is my office box is not allowed to intall some more application. My admin doesnt allow me to install more. So powercmd is not allowed here. I need some more soft that run directly and needn't install.
Ponch Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 I need some more soft that run directly and needn't install.Could portable applications (like this Firefox) be of any use in your case ?
Sonic Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 How can you surf in command line ?! The render of website will be unreadable ...edit: btw you can use wget to download something from website ...
phkninja Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 (edited) Sonic~ Using a program like lynx you can surf the web from command line. Lynx and other browsers like it are text only, so will "render" the text portions of the web pages.As Ponch suggests portable firefox would probably be the solution you require. this will run from a USB devoice (or allow you to copy to the HD to run) without installing like normal. The reason why most programs dont work without installing is because they require registry keys and dlls to be installed. Portable programs bypass this problem (by emulating the registry keys etc) so they can be copied anywhere then run. Edited September 10, 2007 by phkninja
Mijzelf Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 You could also try Off By One. A very small self-containing graphical browser, which doesn't need or use an installation, and which even fits on a floppie.

It still doesn't help
Camarade_Tux Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 Try links then maybe. It all depends on what you need.Btw links can also display pictures if compiled with the correct options.I may try a mingw build for you this weekend but not before as I am very busy. @Nearly all, web has been developped before graphical interfaces were common-place which it is possible to surf without a gui.
