Aha it's a Microsoft so called "FTP Server" with DOS dirstyle listing.
This listing format is unsupported in wget 1.6. You can:
- ask ftp.mcafee.com to change there default to unix listing which is
supported
- patch the 1.6 code so that it issues an DIRSTYLE command at
connection
or
- use the current 1.7-dev CVS code. Where support for this has been
added. Look at the web-site http://sunsite.dk/wget for instruction on
how to get it.
And please, in the future include debug output when reporting problems
