FTP Selected Extraction

I used a wildcard format 04*.* to extract files, howvever this resulted in an error (Files are numerically numbered e.g. 0432701.000). To resolve it I extracted everything then did a file search using the same wildcard parameters (04*.*) and used the created list to copy the selected files to another folder.

Is there a shorter workaround for FTP slected extractions?

What action did you use? Wildcards is not available at using Download File or FTP Download actions. You can download only one file by real name (without wilcards).

To resolve it I extracted everything then did a file search using the same wildcard parameters (04*.*) and used the created list to copy the selected files to another folder.

For this purpose there is FTP File Loop action. This action allows to select files by mask and you can do other operations for each file on FTP server.
