The following example demonstrates an FTP session in which multiple files are downloaded from the server. In this example, all text files in a directory (including sub-directories) are retrieved, except for a single, specified file.

private void mget()
{
    //Get text files in a directory
    ftp1.Session.RemoteEndPoint.HostNameOrAddress = myServer;
    ftp1.Session.Username = myUsername;
    ftp1.Session.Password = myPassword;
    ftp1.Connect();
    ftp1.Authenticate();

    //Get a list of txt files to get
    List<ListEntry> filesToGet = ftp1.ListDirectoryTree("MyTextFiles", "*.txt", true);

    //Tailor the list to not include a specific file
    foreach (ListEntry entry in filesToGet)
    {
        if (entry.Name == "not_me.txt")
        {
            filesToGet.Remove(entry);
            break;
        }
    }

    //Get the files
    string workingDirectory = ftp1.GetDirectory();
    ftp1.Get(filesToGet, workingDirectory + "/MyTextFiles", myLocalDirectory, Synchronize.Off);

    //Logout
    ftp1.Close();
