Details:
The --reject-regex and --accept-regex options are ignored by wget during
recursive FTP downloads.
I would expect the following command to reject all files, but instead it
downloads the 9 small files from this public ftp server:
wget -r -nd --reject-regex='.*'
'ftp://ftp.rcsb.org/pub/pdb/data/status/20070425/'
The problem has been reported a few times on stack overflow:

Tested with 1.18 on Gentoo and 1.19.4 from Homebrew on OS 10.12
