Whoops, yeah. Something like this then:

# Untested
def mget(pattern, &block)
   list.each{ |file|
      next unless File.fnmatch(pattern, file)
      get(file, &block)
   }
end

Dir[pattern] is on the __client__. globbing for mget most
occur against a listing from the __server__.

   eg.

     mget foo*

   means get all files from the server that match foo* - the
only way to do
   this is to combine an ftp.list with fnmatch.
