Use the following to download files from an ftp site. wget -N -nr ftp://ftp.f-prot.is/pub/*
The -N restricts the download to new/newer files only. -nr is necessary to retain the .listing file. By default it is deleted. Substitute a specific filename for "*" if that's what you want. Use -i <filespec> to list the URLs in a list file. Use the above with -B to specify the base URL on the command line, and list just the filenames in the list file.
