That's all what you're asking for: the listing of files in that
directory. wget converts it to a html index.
You most likely want to do something like:
$ wget-dev -S -d -r -l 1 -np
ftp://ftp.nai.com/pub/antivirus/datfiles/4.x/*
or
$ wget-dev -S -d ftp://ftp.nai.com/pub/antivirus/datfiles/4.x/*
That's it: retrieve all files referenced in the directory listing of
/datfiles/ or retrieve all files in the /datfiles/ directory.
Note that there seems to be an FTP parsing bug in wget 1.6 wrt MS FTP
server. This has been fixed in the 1.7-dev branch. Again look at the
web-site for instruccions (http://sunsite.dk/wget)
$ wget-dev ftp://ftp.nai.com/pub/antivirus/datfiles/4.x/*
--23:08:16-- ftp://ftp.nai.com/pub/antivirus/datfiles/4.x/*
