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. - -- cgit v1.2.3
