 wget -r -nH --cut-dirs=6 --no-parent --reject="index.html*"  --user=<USER> --ask-password  http://<host>:<port>/nexus/content/repositories/Test-Releases/com/edu/test/

--cut-dirs : Ignore the number of directories post Nexus host and port. If 5 is passed in this case then in local directories will be like edu/test/*

--reject="index.html*" : Download the actual content but not the index.html

--ask-password  : It will ask for password after running command

Clone/Checkout specific file/folder from GIT

By default git checkouts the entire repository to local. As it used to compress the data during storage and checkout so it takes very less time. But if you want to checkout only one file then use below command.

git archive --remote=ssh://git@host:port/project_key/repos/repoName.git HEAD <fileName/FolderName> | tar -x

In case of local server

rsync -avxH /source /destination
