Subject: What is the secret to excluding a directory



Trying to exclude certain directories from a download.  I've trie
about every syntax known to man but nothing is being excluded.

-X dir
-X /dir
-X "/dir"
-X "dir"

--exclude dir
--exclude "dir"

etc etc

Using the long option I get:
/usr/local/bin/wget: option `--exclude' is ambiguous

Using the -X option nothing is excluded.  Can someone post a working
example?

The examples in info do not work for me.  Not as they are written
there at any rate.

This is my second post on this... no one has offered any advice.
Does the exclude option even work?
