Topic: Download all files in a URL

How do you usually download all files in a folder from a URL?

For example, I would like to download the folder 2000 in this URL: http://www.dpi.inpe.br/prodesdigital/dadosn

Is there a nice way of achieving this using Julia v1.6 Downloads stdlib?

I usually parse response with Gumbo/Cascadia and then just broadcast download/urldownload command

I will try to do the same. I was just wondering if there is a convenient method ready for use.

wget can download entire directories like that. I don't know the exact parameters it needs but I've used it for that purpose in the past.
