Just getting started with wget and can't understand why this wont work

I'm trying to access zip files from a site.


E.g
Www.mysite.com/example1.zip

Wget www.mysite.com/example1.zip works to retrieve the single file. However I have ten example.zip files on the server.

If I try
wget -r -A.zip "http://www.mysite.com"

That's all I get is a folder with the index.html file

I have also tried the command with no parent as well


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Modify like this and it should work:

wget -r -A.zip -l1 "http://www.mysite.com"

The -l1 is a lowercase "L" then digit one
Also remember that files will be downloaded in the directory you run the
command from and URL containing zip files must be correct,

No same thing again, in the folder I get index.html of the site I am downloading from.

Can you provide me the URL and I'll have a look for you.
