When doing a recursive download with Wget the whole directory structure is saved, starting with the domain/hostname and then working down the directory tree inside it.

Preventing this action and downloading recursively into a directory is done using the cut dir command.

This is its syntax:

--cut-dirs=

Along with the no host parameter which is

-nH

This cuts out the hostname only from your targetted address.

If I was downloading from this address

https://website.com/folder/another/here

The files would be stored in https://website.com/folder/another/here folder structure, however using

-nH --cut-dirs=1

Would recursively download the files into /another/here

-nH --cut-dirs=2

would go into /here

Using just

-nH

Saves into /folder/another/here
