I am trying to FTP from a site, where there are multiple files being place. I need to download them all at one time and since the beginning of the file name is constant, the use of a wildcard (*) should be valid. CRD doesn't seem to allow wildcards, only specific file names to download. Any ideas?

The ability to use wildcards is available in CRD 6.1 Build 20070221 and later.

Be aware that you have to use standard wildcard phrases. for example myfile* won't work, but myfile*.* will work, as will *.abc or my*.abc.
