MGet on file without extension

问题:

In FTP, when I mget *, it only gets file with extension *.xxx and ignores those files without any extension, e.g. file name ACC001.

How can I get those files without extension?

You'll probably find you need to set a site option somewhere (or use quote to send a specific low-level command to the FTP server - use quote help for details). The mget command is typically implemented at the lower level as a NLST (name list) followed by a series of RETR (retrieve) operations.

Since NLST is a command to the server to give you a list of names, it's probably the server that's delivering only those files with an extension.

Without knowing the server you're connecting to, (Windows, UNIX, z/OS, ...), it's a little hard to give further information.
