How to download specific files from remote server using SFTPClient?

I am new for SFTP Server. I am tried to upload and download files using SFTP server. It's a stand alone application. While downloading files from remoter server to local server, I able to download list of files under specified path using following SFTP Code:

sftp.lcd(details.get("LOCAL_DIR"));
sftp.cd(details.get("REMOTE_DIR"));

List<SftpFile> remoteFiles = sftp.ls();
for(int i = 0 ; i < remoteFiles.size(); ++i) {
    if(remoteFiles.get(i).isFile()) {
        String remoteFile = remoteFiles.get(i).getFilename();
        sftp.get(remoteFile);
        System.out.println("[SFTPOperations][downLoad] Downloaded: " + remoteFile);
        System.out.println("Remote File: " + remoteFile);
        System.out.println("Remote Archive Dir: " + details.get("REMOTE_ARCHIVE_DIR"));
        sftp.rename(remoteFiles.get(i).getFilename(), details.get("REMOTE_ARCHIVE_DIR"));
        System.out.println("[SFTPOperations][downLoad] Archived: " + remoteFile);
    }
}

By using above code, its downloading all the files from remote directory to local directory. Here I want to download files from remote directory which are matching given pattern.

E.g. pattern: Query*.txt

I want to download text files which are starts with Query.

Please suggest how to do the mentioned above.

Did you try this one?

if (remoteFile.endsWith(".txt")) {
  sftp.get(remoteFile);
}

However you could use some sort of regular expresion to validate if the file name is valid according to the pattern you are traing to evaluate
