This goes for both Unix and Windows, if you can type a command at the command prompt (the shell), then you can redirect the output to a file.
prompt: ls >file
prompt: dir >file
etc.
On both Unix and Windows you can also redirect STDOUT and STDERR to different files. On Unix there is a standard program called "tee", ls | tee outfile, will send output to console and also to the file outfile.
Update:
This wget thing looks pretty cool:

But basically, if you can access the directories on the remote machine with a file path using say, 'ls' on Unix, you don't need or want wget. | [reply]

You can use ssh to run a command on a remote machine and then redirect the output to a file. man ssh for details. | [reply] |
