wget help
i am trying to ftp files/dirs with wget. i am having an issue where the path always takes me to my home dir even when i specify something else. For example:

wget -m ftp://USER:PASS@IP_ADDRESS/Path/on/remote/box

...but if that path on the remote box isn't in my home dir it doesn't change to the proper dir. I've read over the docs without much luck. Anyone know what i am not doing, in order to change the dirs? Thanks in advance.

jigdo-lite

JIGDO-LITE(1)															     JIGDO-LITE(1)

NAME

       jigdo-lite - Download jigdo files using wget

SYNOPSIS

       jigdo-lite [ URL ]

DESCRIPTION

       See jigdo-file(1) for an introduction to Jigsaw Download.

       Given  the  URL	of  a  `.jigdo' file, jigdo-lite downloads the large file (e.g. a CD image) that has been made available through that URL.
       wget(1) is used to download the necessary pieces of administrative data (contained in the `.jigdo' file	and  a	corresponding  `.template'
       file) as well as the many pieces that the large file is made from. The jigdo-file(1) utility is used to reconstruct the large file from the
       pieces.

       `.jigdo' files that contain references to Debian mirrors are treated specially: When such a file is recognized, you are asked to select one
       mirror out of a list of all Debian mirrors.

       If  URL	is not given on the command line, the script prompts for a location to download the `.jigdo' file from. The following command line
       options are recognized:

       -h --help
	      Output short summary of command syntax.

       -v --version
	      Output version number.

       --scan FILES
	      Do not ask for "Files to scan", use this path.

       --noask
	      Do not ask any questions, instead behave as if the user had pressed Return at all prompts. This can be useful  when  running  jigdo-
	      lite from cron jobs or in other non-interactive environments.

SEE ALSO

       jigdo-file(1), jigdo-mirror(1), wget(1) (or `info wget')

       CD images for Debian Linux can be downloaded with jigdo <URL:http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/>.

AUTHOR

       Jigsaw  Download  <URL:http://atterer.net/jigdo/>  was written by Richard Atterer <jigdo atterer.net>, to make downloading of CD ROM images
       for the Debian Linux distribution more convenient.
