I know! But that is intentionally left without index.html. It should display content of the directory, and I want that wget mirror it correctly. Similar situation is here: http://chemfan.pl.feedle.com/arch/chemfanftp/ it is left intentionally without index.html so that people could download these archives. If wget put here index.html in the mirror of such site then there will be no access to these files. > If the web server returns any information, wget has to save the > information that is returned in *some* local file.

Well, if wget "has to" put index.html is such situations then wget is not suitable for mirroring such sites, and I expect that problem to be corrected in future wget versions. a.
