wget -r -np -nH --cut-dirs=1 --reject="index.html*" http://example.com/folder/

Explanation of options:

  • -r: Recursively download the files.
  • -np: Prevents wget from following links to parent directories.
  • -nH: Disables the creation of directories based on the hostname.
  • --cut-dirs=1: Skips the first directory level when saving the files locally (adjust this depending on your folder structure).
  • --reject="index.html*": Excludes the index file from being downloaded.
