wget option to download a directory


I have difficulties in getting the option right for wget to download
directories from http://aufs.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/aufs/aufs
Anyone could advise on this. Thanks.

actually i am looking for a tarball for aufs module but couldn't find. so i think i need to download all the associated directories and files in the above mentioned URL before i could install the aufs module.

I key in the following code.
Code:
wget -i files_aufs -c -B http://aufs.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/aufs/aufs
.

It only fetch a index.html file! The files_aufs has the entry of "fs" and "include" which suppose to tell wget to get the "fs" and "include" directories from the URL.

Appreciate anyone could shed some light on this.

Thanks a lot.

Did you attempt the wget command with a -r for recursive retrieval?

man wget for all available options.

based on the sourceforge aufs's instruction, i have to use cvs to pull down the necessory directories and files.

Thus i didn't use the wget .

Thanks for the feedback.
