wget: command not found

wget: command not found

Trying to understand where I may have screwed up, or why this would be. Got ssh access turned on, and in the process of trying to get Optware going, I attempt to use the wget command, and get the response in the title, "wget: command not found." I'm no Linux expert (I would almost classify myself as a newb), but in all the times I have used Linux, I can't remember any time that wget wasn't an available command.

[root@FileServ ~]# wget http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/optware/setup-optware.sh
-bash: wget: command not found

I have the MBWE with blue ring, 500GB, firmware 02.00.18.

This is not a huge deal to me, as long as the drive continues to function. I just am tired of Mionet and I want to get rid of it completely. :)

mm… not sure, but I think there is no wget command in the bin directories of a mybook.

There is a script wget.sh in /usr/www/nbin (I cannot access the mybook right now, so I cannot check it).

I think it is the script used by the web environmente to update the firmware through the getandapplyfw.sh script in the same directory.

Try it.

Is sintax is wget.sh -O "destination" url_to_retrieve.
