Wildcards in ftp script?

I am writing an ftp script to get a file whose filename changes, but the file extension is consistent. Tried using "get *.txt" but got "file does not exist" error. File is the only one in the directory with this extension. Any ideas?

Found a quick fix - using mget instead of get allowed my to use the *.txt wildcard to get my file!

Thanks.
