Let say you want to download from http://www.domain.com/images/, and you know that the images name is from 001 to 100

Lets write a shell script

#!/bin/bash
max=100
for i in `seq 1 $max`
do
    url=`printf "http://www.domain.com/images/%03d.jpg" $i`
    wget $url
done
  1. First declare a maximum number for the images’ name
  2. Write a for loop to iterate through from 1 _(as the images’ name is start from 1)_to the maximum
  3. The command inside backquote (`) basically is refer to sub-command which will pass the output to the url. In this case is using printf to format the image name with trailing **00** in front if it then store in url variable
  4. Finally use wget to download the images
