I want to download all the folders available here

http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~baker/devices/lxr/source/2.6.25/ldd-examples/

but when I do a
wget http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~baker/devices/lxr/source/2.6.25/ldd-examples/
I just get the index.html page what should I be doing so that I can
have all those subdirectories also ?

wget -m --no-parent
http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~baker/devices/lxr/source/2.6.25/ldd-examples/

-m = mirror
--no-parent = it won't go 'up' the tree and spider the entire website.
just from ldd-examples 'downwards'.

Ummm, I think I had checked that option before posting the question
here but any ways thanks for this it is working.
What I still could not understand from the man page is

"Do not ever ascend to the parent directory when retrieving
recursively. This is a useful option, since it guarantees that only
the files below a
certain hierarchy will be downloaded."

Why do we need to use this option at all?
Can wget not go in subdirectories and download all of the folders below it?

What I forgot to mention is the above way downloads the html pages
also but I want only the source code files
not the html pages
as
index.html index.html?C=D;O=D index.html?C=M;O=D
index.html?C=N;O=D index.html?C=S;O=D
index.html?C=D;O=A index.html?C=M;O=A index.html?C=N;O=A index.html?C=S;O=A

I get on my system

Yes, and the -m will do that. But if you _dont_ do --no-parent it will go to
http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~baker/devices/lxr/source/2.6.25/
http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~baker/devices/lxr/source/

..and get all files below those directories as well as the specific
one you asked for.

Would it not be easier to email the guy and ask him for a tarball of
the folder rather than recursively grab all the files?

http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~baker/ <- his address is on that page.

The suggestion is good but for fun sake I want to download it this way.
