[R] using wildcards in download.file?

[jtang at mappi.helsinki.fi]

Hi,
Do you know whether it is possible to use wildcards in download.file()?
For example:
url = "ftp://abc.com/*.*" # to download all the files in the ftp folder
download.file(url,destfile=...) # does not work, any solutions?

Thanks!
