The MGetFiles method can be called to download all files matching a wildcarded filename pattern.

Chilkat.Ftp2 ftp = new Chilkat.Ftp2();

bool success;

// Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.
success = ftp.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial");
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show(ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

ftp.Hostname = "www.example-code.com";
ftp.Username = "example-code.com";
ftp.Password = "*myPassword1*";

// Connect and login to the FTP server.
success = ftp.Connect();
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show(ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Change to the remote directory where the files are located.
// This step is only necessary if the files are not in the root directory
// of the FTP account.
success = ftp.ChangeRemoteDir("vcpp");
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show(ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Download all files with filenames matching "ftp_*.asp"
// The files are downloaded into c:/temp
int numFilesDownloaded;
numFilesDownloaded = ftp.MGetFiles("ftp_*.asp","c:/temp");
if (numFilesDownloaded < 0) {
    MessageBox.Show(ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

ftp.Disconnect();

textBox1.Text += Convert.ToString(numFilesDownloaded)
     + " Files Downloaded!" + "\r\n";
textBox1.Refresh();
