Generally to use wildcards such as '*' in ftp, use 'mget' instead
of 'get'.  'mget' (multiple get) will prompt you for confirmation
before each get it performs.  I'm not certain if 'mget' is available
on every version of ftp.

Nearly everything except some strict text files are in BinHex 4.0
format; some stuff is in Packit format as well.
