PowerShell FTP download files and subfolders

Closed 4 years ago.
The vendor I'm working with uploads zip files to an FTP. I need to download whatever is uploaded there and process, as needed.
Using Powershell, how do I download *.* from an FTP folder?
(In reference to https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/744ee28a-9340-446a-b698-4b96e081b501/download-files-from-ftp-server?forum=winserverpowershell)
# Config
$Username = "user"
$Password = "password"
$LocalFile = "C:\tools\file.zip"
$RemoteFile = "ftp://myftpserver:22/Folder1/Folder/file.csv"
# Create a FTPWebRequest
$FTPRequest = [System.Net.FtpWebRequest]::Create($RemoteFile)
$FTPRequest.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($Username,$Password)
$FTPRequest.Method = [System.Net.WebRequestMethods+Ftp]::DownloadFile
$FTPRequest.UseBinary = $true
$FTPRequest.KeepAlive = $false
$ftpRequest.EnableSsl = $true
# Send the ftp request
$FTPResponse = $FTPRequest.GetResponse()
# Get a download stream from the server response
$ResponseStream = $FTPResponse.GetResponseStream()
# Create the target file on the local system and the download buffer
$LocalFileFile = New-Object IO.FileStream ($LocalFile,[IO.FileMode]::Create)
[byte[]]$ReadBuffer = New-Object byte[] 1024
# Loop through the download
do {
$ReadLength = $ResponseStream.Read($ReadBuffer,0,1024)
$LocalFileFile.Write($ReadBuffer,0,$ReadLength)
}
while ($ReadLength -ne 0)
Is there any way to make $RemoteFile something like ftp://myftpserver:22/Folder1/Folder/*.zip or ftp://myftpserver:22/Folder1/Folder/*.*
My apologies if there is a post the same. I saw some similar, but not close enough to answer the question.

I have created PowerShell SFTP, FTP, and FTPS script. You will have to download it from my github. I do not use any third party applications, becuase I do not trust them. What I use is REBEX.dll for the SFTP section and .Net WebRequest for FTP and FTPS.

If you have issues understanding the code please let me know. If you are not going to use the Get-SFTP function just comment it out.
