I wish to get all folders and subfolders starting with string mycobacterium in FTP. I couldn't find any information online how to do it. I have tried get mycobacterium*, mget mycobacterium* but they don't work.

What is the right way in retrieving the data in FTP? Thanks in advance.

What FTP client are you using? What OS? – Martin Prikryl Dec 02 '19 at 09:01
Hi Martin. I use Redhat OS and access to ftp directories using `ftp` command. – bison72 Dec 03 '19 at 01:23
I do not think that `ftp` supports recursive file transfers. See [How to recursively download a folder via FTP on Linux](https://stackoverflow.com/q/113886/850848). – Martin Prikryl Dec 03 '19 at 06:19
