How to download multiple folders using mget?

Hi,

Wondering if it is possible to use mget to download multiple folders?, where each folder has multiple files.

Here is my attempt...

clc, clear
username = 'xxx';
password = 'xxx';
ftpobj  = ftp('ftp.blablabla',username,password);
cd(ftpobj, '/Forlder3/Forlder2/Forlder1');
dir(ftpobj)

mget(ftpobj,'C:\MyFolder');

% I believe to help with query...
hs = struct(ftpobj);   
hs.jobject.setConnectionTimeout(50);

Thanks!

You can use a wildcard with the list of things to get. If what you specify happens to match multiple folders, then they will be retrieved.

Sorry I was not very specific before...

The folders are: 01, 02, ...12

In ach folder there are .nc and .png files.

I believe your suggestion should be something like this... mget(ftpobj,'\*\*.nc','C:\MyFolder');

However, I get neither error message nor data downloaded.

Any advice, much appreciated!

I would tend to suspect

mget(ftpobj,'*/*.nc','C:\MyFolder')

Tested and...

cd(ftpobj, '/Forlder3/Forlder2/Forlder1');

To confirm, what you want to retrieve is /Forlder3/Forlder2/Forlder1/*/*.nc ?

yes. thanks!

The only thing that I see is that you spelt Forlder instead of Folder
