No, it's just that by default the server doesn't create indexes. Wget and the like, however, really do web crawling, so what you need to do is give it the main page and let it crawl from there. The option for this in wget is "-m" (for mirror). Add "-np" (no parent) if there are links above the url that you don't want to mirror. Realize, of course, that if the website is something like php or any kind of cgi files, all you will get is the resulting html output, not the source of the files. There really isn't a good way to do that over http if you need the original source.
