6.2.11 The mget and mput commands: fetch or send multiple files

mget works almost exactly like get, except that it allows you to specify more than one file to fetch at once. You can do this in two ways:

• by giving two or more explicit file names (‘mget file1.txt file2.txt’)
• by using a wildcard (‘mget *.txt’).

Every argument to mget is treated as the name of a file to fetch (unlike get, which will interpret at most one argument like that, and a second argument will be treated as an alternative name under which to store the retrieved file), or a wildcard expression matching more than one file.

The -r and -- options from get are also available with mget.

mput is similar to put, with the same differences.
