Linux how to download a folder from command line – what's the easiest way? or What’s the best command

Yo, `wget` can kinda do folders if you use `--mirror` or `--recursive`, but it’s messy.

For linux how to download a folder from command line, I’d say just zip it on the server first (`zip -r folder.zip folder`) then `wget` or `curl` the zip.

Unzip locally with `unzip folder.zip`. Less headache!
