I've searched and I'm not finding what I'm looking for. I'm setting up batches to ftp files, and I can set up for filtering certain criteria, but some of the files have varying name lengths, and I can't find anything about using wildcards in FTP. I've tried this:

ftp Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

mget blah*moreblah.blah

and it returns file not found blah*moreblah.blah

I know for a fact the the files are there that would match the pattern. Should that work or am I going about it wrong?
