wget question

I want to use wget to download all files in a remote directory. It doesn't look like you can specify wildcards when using wget. Is there another easy way to do this?

from info wget

Code:

   * File name wildcard matching and recursive mirroring of directories
     are available when retrieving via FTP.  Wget can read the
     time-stamp information given by both HTTP and FTP servers, and
     store it locally.  Thus Wget can see if the remote file has
     changed since last retrieval, and automatically retrieve the new
     version if it has.  This makes Wget suitable for mirroring of FTP
     sites, as well as home pages.

Cheers,
