Trying to connect to SFTP connection where there are few CSV files placed in folders and want to download multiple files at once

The directory is exports/payroll_exports.

There are 3 files there for now:

vani_payroll_bayshore_21323_232.csv 
vani_payroll_bayshore_21344_256.csv 
vani_payroll_bayshore_124523_888.csv

How to use a get command where I can write get vani_payroll_bayshore%.csv?

I plan to add the get command to a script like this:

option batch on
option confirm off
open sftp:.... -hostkey= "...."
cd exports/payroll_exports
lcd  "\\....."
get ( don't know how to write the wildcard syntax)
close 
exit
winscp sftp

WinSCP uses the common file wildcard syntax as most other applications.

To match anything of any length, use *.

get vani_payroll_bayshore*.csv

See WinSCP masks documentation.
