[GIS] Downloading an unzipped File Geodatabase from USGS

arcgis-10.0arcgis-desktopdownloadspatial-database

I am attempting to download a file geodatabase from the pubs.usgs.gov site.

The file db is DDS69ff.gdb

The browser sees the file as a directory so I am having trouble downloading the complete file as a geodatabase accessible in Arcgis 10.

I've tried to retrieve the file in wget and I've had no luck.

I believe if you go up a level by clicking Parent Directory you can access the Geodatabase.zip link and download from there. You can extract the zip file and see the contents there.

This method will only be useful if you are using this data for desktop purposes and not coding.
