-Transferring files off of most cameras to a Linux computer isn't all that
-difficult. Normally I can rip out the SD card and transfer files or just use a
-USB data transfer of some kind. The exception is my GoPro Hero 4 Black. For 4th
-of July week I took a bunch of video with the GoPro, approximately 20 MP4
-files, about 3GB each. The annoying thing about the GoPros USB interface is
-you need an app to download everything this way. The camera doesn't just show
-up as a USB device that you can mount. The GoPro does have a micro-SD card but
-I'm away from home and didn't have any dongles or adapters.
-
-The solution? GoPro cameras, after the Hero 3, can open up an ad-hoc wireless
-network that lets you browse the GoPro's onboard files through an HTTP server.
-This means you can open your browser and scroll through the files on the camera
-at a intranet address, `10.5.5.9`, and download them one by one. Well if you
-have like two dozen videos on there it kinda sucks.
-
-> *Smiles warmly*
-
-So, I opened up the manual for `wget`. I'm sure you could get really fancy with
-some of the options but the only thing I cared about was downloading every
-single MP4 video off of the camera, automatically. I did not want to download
-any of the small video formats or actual HTML files. So here's what I did:
-
-```sh
-$ wget --recursive --accept "*.MP4" http://10.5.5.9:8080/
-```
-
-This tells `wget` to download all of the files at the GoPro's address
-recursively and skips any that don't have the MP4 extension. Now I've got a
-directory tree with all of my videos in it. And the best part is I didn't have
-to install the dinky GoPro app on my laptop. Hopefully this helps if you're
-looking for an easy way to migrate lots of footage without manually clicking
-through the web interface or installing additional software.
-
-Some things I would like to change/add:
-
-- Download all image files as well; should be easy, just another `--accept`
-- Initiate parallel downloads
-- Clean up the directory afterwards so I just have one level of depth
-
-I could probably write a quick and dirty shell script to do all of this for me
-but I use the camera so infrequently that it's probably not even worth it.
