Oh. It makes thing slightly different, but not much.

When that callback is called, you know what URL you used - and you know the
particular single file name since that is set within the fileinfo struct.

Your code simple needs to figure out what directory name to prepend to the
file names you get.

The same general idea applies in this callback though. It gives you
information, you need to handle it and convert it to what you think is
necessary.

Also note that the wildcard thing is only listing the files, it doesn't
actually transfer their contents. You probably want to store all files in a
list/array somewhere and after you've received the entire list you ask for the
files you'd like to get.
