I know that you can MGET several files at the same time by turning the PROMPT'ing feature off by using the word PROMPT during and FTP session. I just
tested this and it doesn't look like it's possible to do within the i.

The PROMPT command doesn't seem to be supported by the i FTP client. To which FTP client are you referring?

As for MGET, it _is_ supported by the i FTP client (at least at V5R4). The syntax is
MGet { remotefile [remotefile...]}[(REPLACE]

Jerry mentioned this in his post, but I think it's worth repeating since this is a common misunderstanding (which I've only recently realized myself). MGET is not part of the FTP protocol. MGET is a utility provided by most FTP clients builds a list of files to be retrieved, then does a GET for each of them.

Massive GET

I think it's supposed to be Multiple GET, but I like yours better :)
