I'm doing an MGET with FTP and getting something strange. Why is it trying
to retrieve everything twice? Would there be some kind of monitoring thing
on the machine that would do this?

mget BINTRP14.FILE/STR00001*.mbr BINTRP14.FILE/STR00001*.mbr

Because you've asked for the same file pattern twice.

Whereas GET can take a target name, MGET does not.

MGET just takes one or more source patterns.

MGET is doing in the above example exactly what you told it to dy.
