I have seen this but it's not working. The remote/ftp directory structure is this:



domain.com/
toplevel/
foo1/
ARCHIVE/
README.stuff
DATA/
README.txt
...other nested folders
wantedstuff.zip
wantedstuff2/
morewantedstuff.zip
...otherstuffwanted


I want everything within /toplevel EXCEPT everything inside the /ARCHIVE folders for each nested folder in /toplevel/*.



I tried this:



wget --continue -r --exclude-directories=/ARCHIVE/ ftp://domain.com/toplevel/


and these:



wget --continue -r --exclude-directories=ARCHIVE ftp://domain.com/toplevel/
wget --continue -r --exclude-directories=ARCHIVE/ ftp://domain.com/toplevel/
wget --continue -r X /ARCHIVE/ ftp://domain.com/toplevel/
wget --continue -r -X '*/ARCHIVE/*' ftp://domain.com/toplevel/
wget --continue -r -X '*/ARCHIVE' ftp://domain.com/toplevel/
wget --continue -r --reject-regex '.*/ARCHIVE/.*' ftp://domain.com/toplevel/


But none seem to work, it still downloads that ARCHIVE folder. Wondering how to prevent it from downloading.
