ftp multiple new files using wildcards

Question

I was wondering if there is a way to use ftp to only get files that match a wildcard if the files is newer than the local copy?

I know I can use mget * but that will get everything and I only want to get the file(s) if they are newer than a local copy. Is there a way to use mget in combination with newer?
