User username "anonymous" and the server will let
you in with any password. This is how everybody allows
the world access to an FTP server, and it's called
(ta-da) anonymous FTP. It's considered common courtesy
to use your email address as a password when using
anonymous FTP so that the siteadmin knows who you are.

Also:

1. "mget" is "multiple get" so you can use wildcards.
2. "mput" you can figure out.  :)
