All,
One of my customers has provided an FTP account that apparently has been created on a server, running MacOS. My "MGET" doesn't work as expected....

I need to get multiple files with a specific filemask (example: FDX*.txt), but

"MGET FDX*.txt" No Filetransfer

Then I found:
"MGET *.*" No Filetransfer
"MGET *" Works fine, but I get (bviously) all files. :(


Is this related to a MacOS specific syntax to use wildcards in a different way that you would use in DOS(-alike) environments?

Thank you for a response to my question!

Kind regards,
Igor.

One thing that might be a problem is that the Mac does
not use files extensions. Yes they look like they are on
the file but that is only it (a look). So try something to the
effect

Mget *txt
