I knew there was a way to ftp multiple files without being prompted.
It was just a matter of knowing the syntax.
It is possible to download several files at once, using the mget command. This command can take several filenames as arguments, and you can even use wildcards to download matching files. For example, the command
mget *.txt
would download all the files that end in .txt in the current directory on the remote host. When using mget , you will be prompted as to whether or not you wish to download each file. This feature can be toggled on and off by typing prompt at the ftp> prompt before beginning the file transfer.
