Add support for wildcard when using ftp.exe on windows command prompt
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I was trying to backup just the .sav files of all my games and I thought the best way to do that without taking out the micro sd card is to make a simple batch file with all the script to use ftp.exe, connect to the 3ds and then download all .sav files using mget *.sav, but sadly wildcards doesn't work and can't make them work in any way.
Describe the solution you'd like
use windows cmd to open a ftp connection using ftp.exe and get all files with different names but same extension (in my case *.sav files)
Describe alternatives you've considered
Have a list of all my games and download each corresponding save files one by one, which will result in a unnecessary large batch file and I'll have to update it eventually to add new games I've started to play, so a new .sav file is created, and a new name to add to the list of saves to backup.
Additional context
I have this simple batch file: ftp -g -s:info.txt > logfile.txt
info.txt is my task list that ftp.exe will run:
open 192.168.0.41 5000
cd /
lcd D:\Escritorio\Nuevacarpeta
bin
prompt
mget *.sav
disconnect
quit
but this is the log.txt with the result:
ftp> open 192.168.0.41 5000
Conectado a 192.168.0.41.
220 Hello!

ftp> prompt

ftp> mget *.sav
200 OK
450 No such file or directory
ftp> disconnect
221 Disconnecting
ftp> quit
I'm still able to download single files if I specify name and extension tho, that's why it may be possible to download every single .sav files one by one if I know the exact name of each of them.
The RFCs that define FTP do not explicitly mention globbing; this means that FTP servers are not required to support globbing in order to be compliant.
