Some FTP clients support an "mget" ("multiple get") command that
would allow a wildcard spec:
$ ftp example.com
ftp> cd /pub
ftp> mget *.zip
Sometimes the client prompts you for each file with some sort of
Do you want to download foo.zip? (Y/n)
Do you want to download blah.zip? (Y/n)
which can be somewhat annoying. You should be able to toggle it with
the "prompt" command. It's also subject to the "glob" setting which
either takes the "mget" arguments literally:
ftp> mget foo.zip blah.zip
or as globs (as in my initial example).
There may also be a "case" toggle depending on the case-sensitivity
that you want.
Hope that helps,
