I changed locations, and now, in the new location, wget is not working.

To recap, I want to wget files from a backups directory on the server to my local machine. In August, it was working. But I have since changed locations. Now, from my local machine in the new location, wget is not working, I get 404 Not Found. If I turn autoindex on, I can display the directory using a browser on my local machine, but only if I use the IP address, not the URL site name. I did this to troubleshoot, as I do not normally want the directory to display, I only want to download files using wget. So autoindex is now off.

I would appreciate some assistance to get wget working, thanks,

Hi @netvigator,

Wait, first, let me know please from where you are running your Wget command to where?

Additionally, do disable directory listing in Nginx, you need to add the following :

autoindex off;

Inside your location blocks. Basically, like that:

server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        listen [::]:80 default_server;
        root /var/www/html;
        index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
        server_name _;
        location / {
autoindex off;
                try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        }
}

That should do it.

Waiting for a bit more clarification on the other part of the question.
