No file fetched with "wget -r" I use the following command to recursively download the rpms file from a web server wget -r -np -R "index.html*" After two minutes, I see Total wall clock time: 2m 41s Downloaded: 113 files, 1.2M in 4.7s (252 KB/s) However, there are no *.rpm in the folders. It only fetched the folder names and some xml files! How can I tell `wget` to fetch all files?

You have to either increase recursion maximum depth level with `-l`:


wget -r -np -R "index.html*" -l 10


or replace `-r` with `-m`:


wget -m -np -R "index.html*" -l 10
