wget will follow directory structures without problems however you're not pointing it to a directory.

Generally when you access /foo/ (client) and it shows a list of files inside that is called "Fancy Indexing" (server), what this means is that if it CANNOT load (server) an default.htm/index.htm (etc) page then it shows the contents of the directory (to the client)intead of the contents of the index.htm page. If indexing is off then you get a 404.

In short, there is no directory structure for wget to read for it to be able to grab those files.
