I have been trying to download a directory of pdf files using wget, and have been
failing
I have tried the following commands:
wget --spider directory
wget -r directory
wget directory/*
wget -A pdf directory/*
wget --no-glob
wget --retr-symlinks directory/
And I think every combination of the above
The actual directory I eventually downloaded file by file is from the website (and
wget was quicker than using firefox)
http://www.hutchison-whampoa.com/eng/investor/annual/annual.htm
and the files were in the following directory
http://202.66.146.82/listco/hk/hutchison/annual/2007
I think the problem is that I could not get a file list for the directory (see
http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum40/1694.htm

As I suspect that I will be trying to download multiple pdfs again: can anyone point
me in the right direction of how I can do this?
Many thanks
