Case: recursively download all the files that are in the ‘ddd’  folder for the url ‘http://hostname/aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd/’
Solution:
wget -r -np -nH –cut-dirs=3 -R index.html http://hostname/aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd/
Explanation:
It will download all files and subfolders in ddd directory:
recursively (-r),
not going to upper directories, like ccc/… (-np),
not saving files to hostname folder (-nH),
but to ddd by omitting first 3 folders aaa, bbb, ccc (–cut-dirs=3),
excluding index.html files (-R index.html)
