The way to do it with Wget would be something like:
wget --mirror --no-host-directories ftp://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
It will preserve permissions. Having said that, I believe that rsync
would be better at this because it's much more careful to correctly
transfer a directory tree from point A to point B.
(For better transfer of file names, you should also use Wget 1.9 beta
and specify `--restrict-file-names=nocontrol'.)
