wget creates many additional files

I have a server with set htaccess. When I want to download files from it I simply execute:

wget -r --user="user" --password="password" -q 'http://server'

All files are downloaded but wget creates also many additional files index.html?something in each directory and I have to manualy remove them. Is to possible to not create that files?

See the --accept and --reject options, if your version of wget suppors them:

-A acclist --accept acclist
-R rejlist --reject rejlist

Specify comma-separated lists of file name suffixes or patterns to accept or reject. Note that if any of the wildcard characters, *, ?, [ or ], appear in an element of acclist or rejlist, it will be treated as a pattern, rather than a suffix.
