Depends what exactly you want to do but you can test using wget, curl
and lynx.

openSUSE Leap (42.1) 64 bit
Plasma 5
Lets say I want to download some nvidia drivers and I need to look at the directory folder to choose which driver to install.
How do I do it?
Use Lynx as a browser.
How do I look up a directory in Lynx?
Enter he URL of the directory?
As with any browser where you enter the URL of a directory, it depends on the server what you get. Sometimes directory browsing is enabled, sometimes not, but it is the server configuration that counts.

One of my favorite text based browsers is w3m. But as others have mentioned,
there is lynx and I know on RH distros, they prefer “links” or “elinks”.
Your choice.
Of course, those are when you need a browser. You can use curl or wget as well,
if you just need to fetch or mirror something without the whole browser experience.
Thank you.
This was what I wanted. :o
