What shows up in your web browser if you enter the directory (such as
http://www.somesite.com/dir/)?
The most common responses are:
* some HTML file selected by the server (often index.html, but not always)
* an HTML listing of the directory contents generated by the server
* a 403 Forbidden response
In the first two cases, you can use:
wget http://www.somesite.com/dir/ --mirror
In the third case, you cannot grab the entire directory using wget. You will
have to construct a list of filenames in a file and then use:
wget --input-file=FILE
Note that the files that are retrieved in this fashion will appear in the
current directory.
Hope that helps. By the way, there is a newer version of wget available
(although my answer is the same for 1.8.2 and 1.9).
