How to use wget to Download all files in Linux

wget on Linux is a very useful tool to download files from the web. In its default use, one can download individual files from a directory on the web. However, downloading all files form a HTTP directory may be achieved using the following command.

]# wget -r -nH -nd -np -R index.html* http://example.com/directory/

The arguments in the command above have the following meanigns:

     -r   Recursive download
    -nH   This prevents the creation of directory structure as on the host
    -nH   This ensures that all files are saved in the current direcotry
    -nH   Don't download parent folder when -r option is given
    -nH   Reject list, exclude these file(s) from the download
