how do i wget a directory?

[errigour]

Hey how do I download a whole directory from a website?

[reed9]

It would be something along the lines of

wget -r -l2 www.mysite.com

Depending on what you want, there are other useful options, such as adding --no-parent.

The best way to figure this one out, is to

man wget
/recursive

and press the N key until you see a command line switch ( it is -r or --recursive for wget .)

You can do this with almost any command in linux. type `man command` and search for a string `/string` recursive is just the term used to do what you described.
