Installing rpm through http service

[raji10k]

Hi Frndz,

I halt down with a problem, I have 40 computers having Linux so I need RPM's in each and every computer. So I configured HTTP service in Windows 2003 and navigated the rpm and am able to access those rpm's from RHEL-4 Firefox browser and when am coping the link location form browser and used the following command

#rpm -ivh http://200.200.2.99/*.rpm

while doing this I got a error

Retrieving http://200.200.2.99/*.rpm
error: skipping http://200.200.2.99/*.rpm - transfer failed - Unknown or unexpected error

This was the error Am fighting with.Will any one get me out of this.........?

Thanks in Advance

Hi there ,

You cant use wildcards when downloading via HTTP, so using *.rpm isnt going to work.

You could use a tool like curl or wget to download the files to the client machine, and run the rpm install from there.
