How to execute linux command (wget) from within javascript code

[analwarsi]

Hi,
i am new to javascript. actually i need to execute the wget command from within a javascript code, but i don't know the syntax for executing the linux-ccommands from within javascript code.
Can anyone guide please?

i'm almost certain that that's not possible
major security risk

this tutorial might be of some assistance though

you pretty much need to have an interface to the command line
either through php, or another scripting language (obviously whatever can be run on your server)

but if you're going to use wget, you might as well use file_get_conten ts (if that's available and you're using php)
