+Directory-Based Limits
+======================
+
+ Regardless of other link-following facilities, it is often useful to
+place the restriction of what files to retrieve based on the directories
+those files are placed in. There can be many reasons for this--the
+home pages may be organized in a reasonable directory structure; or some
+directories may contain useless information, e.g. `/cgi-bin' or `/dev'
+directories.
+
+ Wget offers three different options to deal with this requirement.
+Each option description lists a short name, a long name, and the
+equivalent command in `.wgetrc'.
+
+`-I LIST'
+`--include LIST'
+`include_directories = LIST'
+ `-I' option accepts a comma-separated list of directories included
+ in the retrieval. Any other directories will simply be ignored.
+ The directories are absolute paths.
+
+ So, if you wish to download from `http://host/people/bozo/'
+ following only links to bozo's colleagues in the `/people'
+ directory and the bogus scripts in `/cgi-bin', you can specify:
+
+ wget -I /people,/cgi-bin http://host/people/bozo/
+
+`-X LIST'
+`--exclude LIST'
+`exclude_directories = LIST'
+ `-X' option is exactly the reverse of `-I'--this is a list of
+ directories *excluded* from the download. E.g. if you do not want
+ Wget to download things from `/cgi-bin' directory, specify `-X
+ /cgi-bin' on the command line.
+
+ The same as with `-A'/`-R', these two options can be combined to
+ get a better fine-tuning of downloading subdirectories. E.g. if
+ you want to load all the files from `/pub' hierarchy except for
+ `/pub/worthless', specify `-I/pub -X/pub/worthless'.
+
+`-np'
+`--no-parent'
+`no_parent = on'
+ The simplest, and often very useful way of limiting directories is
+ disallowing retrieval of the links that refer to the hierarchy
+ "above" than the beginning directory, i.e. disallowing ascent to
+ the parent directory/directories.
+
+ The `--no-parent' option (short `-np') is useful in this case.
+ Using it guarantees that you will never leave the existing
+ hierarchy. Supposing you issue Wget with:
+
+ wget -r --no-parent http://somehost/~luzer/my-archive/
+
+ You may rest assured that none of the references to
+ `/~his-girls-homepage/' or `/~luzer/all-my-mpegs/' will be
+ followed. Only the archive you are interested in will be
+ downloaded. Essentially, `--no-parent' is similar to
+ `-I/~luzer/my-archive', only it handles redirections in a more
+ intelligent fashion.

+
+Following FTP Links
+===================
+
+ The rules for FTP are somewhat specific, as it is necessary for them
+to be. FTP links in HTML documents are often included for purposes of
+reference, and it is often inconvenient to download them by default.
+
+ To have FTP links followed from HTML documents, you need to specify
+the `--follow-ftp' option. Having done that, FTP links will span hosts
+regardless of `-H' setting. This is logical, as FTP links rarely point
+to the same host where the HTTP server resides. For similar reasons,
+the `-L' options has no effect on such downloads. On the other hand,
+domain acceptance (`-D') and suffix rules (`-A' and `-R') apply
+normally.
+
+ Also note that followed links to FTP directories will not be
+retrieved recursively further.
