How to download all files recursively from a website directory

Hello,
I am looking to do something fairly simple. I am taking a class at a college. There is a webpage with a schedule and links to lecture slides. I discovered that you can navigate to a URL folder that has all the lecture files in subfolders. I thought download all these files would be a very trivial thing in WinSCP. I have done this sort of thing before with something I think called WinHTTP?

Anyway, if WinSCP has this capability I would rather just do it there than start installing multiple apps to transfer files. I looked at WebDAV, but that just wants the hostname. I have a specific URL, like:
https://some.college.edu/~professor/class/lectures
[there are multiple folders here that look like this]
Parent Directory
lecture01/   date
lecture02/   date
lecture03/   date
...
Can I do this with WinSCP?

Thanks,
Steve

Re: How do download all files recursively from a website directory

If the files are available over HTTP protocol only, you cannot use WinSCP for the download.

WinSCP supports only file transfer protocols like SFTP or FTP.
