Leeching files from a forbidden folder
« on: December 03, 2004, 08:59:33 pm »
I got married a couple of weeks ago, our wedding photographer took about a million photo's (so it seemed) and uses a site called estudioresources.com to put all the photo proofs online. There are 863 proofs, which will dissappear in January. I'd like to be able to download all these photo's easily (they're water-marked, but I'd like them anyway), I found the folder that all the photos are stored in, but I get the "403 directory listing denied" message if I try and access it. I know they're in there.
They're named 11001pjm-800.jpg,  11002pjm-800.jpg,  11003pjm-800.jpg etc. etc.

So, my question is:
Is there a piece of leeching software than will grab all files named something like website.com/folder/$$$$$pjm-800.jpg in a folder, where $ is a number between 0 and 9 ???

Or how else could I get them?

When I got married we got a copy of all our proofs.  We got charged extra for anything to be blown up.  However, when I got my wedding announcement pictures done the photographer loaned us all the proofs so we could decide which we wanted to use.  We scanned them all.

Putting them online was probably the easiest thing for the photographer. She's in Vegas and we're in Boston, and she used all digital cameras, nothing has been printed yet- we need to pick 120 photo's out of the 863 that are online  :-X
If I could download them all, I could print out some index pages to make our picking and choosing a little easier too.

In linux you could use lynx (with -dump) and set up a simple script.

I figured it out. I made a big list of urls in Excel, saved it as a text file, then imported it into GetRight. Kind of a round-aabout way of doing it, but I've got them now  ;D

Don't forget the legal implications! Wedding photos taken by professional photographers are copyrighted with the photographer as the copyright holder. You are suppossed to purchase your pictures from the photographer who shot them. Your photographer probably put a time limit on the site they are hosted on so that you'll hurry up and buy some pictures and not flake out.

My wedding photographer gave us over 1000 unmark 4x6 proofs AND we got all our negetives so we can do our own photos.  PLUS, we have over 400 photos online on there site... AND I got all the photos on a 2 CD's so I can email them off to whomever.

Yep, some photographers are cheap for x amount of prints, but they'll rape you in the post production work. Sometimes its better and cheaper in the long run if you use a photographer that gives you the negetives so you can do your own printing and not have to purchase the outrangeously prices packages from the photographer.

I can't really relate with this thread.

I got married in front of a judge 18 years ago. I gave the judge $20.  In another 2 years, I will have gotten my money's worth.

We had my buddy take some shots with a disposable camera.

I'm real happy with the results, and my buddy was paid in beer.

I guess I got lucky.  My wedding photographer quit the business about 2 months after the event, and we were able to get all our negs for the asking IIRC.  :)
