MATLAB: Matlab FTP server client

Question

I want download a specific file from FTP to my desktop so I used this code:

ftp_client = ftp('IP','Username','PASS');
mget(ftp_client,'/First_folder/WW.txt','F:/Target_Folder');

But when I use it, Matlab create a folder in F:/Target_Folder (with the name of First_folder) that contain WW.txt file. I want only have WW.txt in F:/Target_Folder without any folder in it. What should I do?

This is easy in URL style :

urlwrite('URL_Address/First_folder/WW.txt','F:/Target_Folder/TEXT.txt');

But when I use FTP I have this problem.

Thanks.

I haven’t done this in a while. Perhaps using cd first will work:

cd(ftp_client, '/First_folder/');
mget(ftp_client,'WW.txt','F:/Target_Folder');

will work.
