You can use wget -rl1 URL -A "200506*.exe". The problem is that you must have a URL that lists all the available files in HTML form. If you don't have such a URL, it's impossible to guess which files the server may contain. (Unlike FTP, HTTP doesn't support producing directory listings.) > I'm not sure if wget even has the capability right now to do it? If the problem is what I described above, no generic downloading agent has the capability to do it.
