I usually do it like this: wget -r -N -l 1 http://sdb.suse.de/download/s390/update/SuSE-SLES/8/rpm/s390 rm *.gif rm index*
And my .wgetrc file has http-user and http-passwd in it. I'm sure there's a better way to skip the index file, but this seems to get everything I need.

Sorry.) To Mark Post: I tried your wget command parameters but get my same problem: wget looks for a non-existent "index.html" at each url I give it, doesn't find it and gives up. I would like wget to just go out and download the contents of the directories instead of getting an index.html file and following its links. I've read the wget manual and can't figure out what options make it do what I want. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
