Hi,
Welcome to JavaRanch!
First, a bit of business: you may not have read our
naming policy on the way in. It reqiures that you use a full, real (sounding) first and last name for your display name. Initials aren't enough. You can change your display name
here. Thanks, pardner!
Now, as to your question: no, URLs can't have wildcards, but the FTP protocol includes the LIST command and other commands to let you navigate through the file system and list the available files. You could use a client library like
Jakarta Commons Net to get easy access to this functionality.
