RE: wget 403 forbidden error when no index.html.
The short answer is that you don't get to do it. If your browser can't do it, wget isn't going to be able to do it.

I am trying to download a specific directory contents of a site and i kep getting the 403 forbidden when i run wget. The direcotry does not have an index.html and ofcourse any refrences to that path result a 403 page displayed in my browser. Is this why wget is not working. If so how to download contents of such sites.
RE: wget 403 forbidden error when no index.html.
You seriously expected the server to provide wget with a file when it returned 403 to the browser? wget must be provided with a valid URL before it can do anything. If you want to download something from the server, figure out how to retrieve it in your browser and then provide that URL to wget.
