user Codegirl $$$$
#######cd to ftp server#########
cd /root/desktop
######cd to local PC#############
lcd /root/myfile
*mget ML*   ??? (how can i change it to specific file name?)*

Answer 1

If it was me I'd use a loop and wget.

cd /root/myfile

for i in $(seq -f "%08g" 2222 899999)

do
  wget --username=un --password=pw ftp://172.0.0.1/root/desktop/ML${i}
done

This does require wget to reconnect each time, it's going to take time anyway so go and run the script and grab a cup of tea. I use loops like this all the time and it works well.
