wget for selected samples from ftp?

I wanted to download selected files from this site:

ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/sra-instant/reads/ByStudy/sra/SRP/SRP042/SRP042286

If I wanted to download all of them I could do:

$wget -r ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/sra-instant/reads/ByStudy/sra/SRP/SRP042/SRP042286/*

But my questions what a simple way to download just selected samples such as SRR1299458/ - SRR1299466/.

You can use wget -r ftp://example.com/path/{dir1,dir2}: 

wget -r ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/sra-instant/reads/ByStudy/sra/SRP/SRP042/SRP042286/{SRR1299458,SRR1299466}
