If you need for some reason to download a full website, wget is a nice tool to accomplish this.
With “man wget” you can get a pretty good idea of all available features. I heard there is also a wget version for windows.

Let us examine an example:

• -m stands for mirroring
• -k and -K convert the page with local links
• -E to convert to an html suffix
• –random-wait to add a random waiting period between requests

$ wget -m -E -k -K -w 1 --random-wait -o logfile http://website_uri/path

You can disable directory browsing at several levels like everything else.

In order to do that:

1. Edit either the http.conf or a specific .conf file or the .htaccess file.
2. If exists, look for “Option Indexes”
3. Replace it or create a new line with “Options -Indexes”
