download web folder using wget

You have to pass the -np/--no-parent option to wget (in addition to -r/--recursive, of course), otherwise it will follow the link in the directory index on my site to the parent directory. So the command would look like this:

wget --recursive --no-parent http://example.com/configs/.vim/

To avoid downloading the auto-generated index.html files, use the -R/--reject option:

wget -r -np -R "index.html*" http://example.com/configs/.vim/
