I guess some of the problems you report have been already addressed in
the development (CVS) version of wget.

You would have to compile the lastest CVS version. Have a look at
http://sunsite.dk/wget/ to find out how to do it.

There is a small but iomportant difference between `ftp://host/file'
and `ftp://host/dir/'. But you're right, in case that there is no file
of the given name available, we shall probably try CWD to a directory
of the same name.

wget 1.7-dev gets this correctly.

Because of `*' being interpreted by your shell prior to starting
wget. You would have to quote the URL as 'ftp:..../*.sh'.
