Use FileZilla FTP client to download large amount of files with specific websites

We have a list of websites of files to download like these:

ftp://aaa.bbb.ccc/folder1/file0111.dat
ftp://aaa.bbb.ccc/folder2/file0234.dat
ftp://aaa.bbb.ccc/folder5/file1987.dat
...
ftp://aaa.bbb.ccc/folder9/fileXXYY.dat

The file amount is too large, say 1000, we could not select them one by one. Therefore, we plan to put the websites into a text file, say website.txt, then use FilleZilla to download all the dat files with website.txt.

Can FileZilla do like this?

Thanks a lot!
Kindly, EmanLee

FileZilla does not support scripting:
Command line option to download file in FileZilla

You can use WinSCP scripting to download list of files.

For example, you can create a batch file (get.bat) like:

@echo off

winscp.com /command ^
    "open ""%1""" ^
    "get ""%2""" ^
    "exit"

And than you call it like this from another batch file:

@echo off

call get.bat ftp://aaa.bbb.ccc/folder1/ file0111.dat
call get.bat ftp://aaa.bbb.ccc/folder2/ file0234.dat
call get.bat ftp://aaa.bbb.ccc/folder5/ file1987.dat
...
call get.bat ftp://aaa.bbb.ccc/folder9/ fileXXYY.dat

You can make an queue.xml file and Filezilla will download those files in that xml. Here is an example from the Export Method, you would have to import it to Filezilla. File-> Export/Import 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<FileZilla3 version="3.14.1" platform="windows">
    <Queue>
        <Server>
            <Host>ftp.site.com</Host>
            <Port>21</Port>
            <Protocol>0</Protocol>
            <Type>0</Type>
            <User>ftp.site.com|CORP\user</User>
            <Pass encoding="base64">XXXX</Pass>
            <Logontype>1</Logontype>
            <TimezoneOffset>0</TimezoneOffset>
            <PasvMode>MODE_DEFAULT</PasvMode>
            <MaximumMultipleConnections>0</MaximumMultipleConnections>
            <EncodingType>Auto</EncodingType>
            <BypassProxy>0</BypassProxy>
            <Name>SiteName</Name>
            <File>
                <LocalFile>C:\XXX.txt</LocalFile>
                <RemoteFile>XXX.txt</RemoteFile>
                <RemotePath>1 0</RemotePath>
                <Download>0</Download>
                <Size>635529</Size>
                <DataType>0</DataType>
            </File>
        </Server>
    </Queue>
</FileZilla3>
