Details:

mget(ftpobj,contents,target) ignores 'target.'  According to Matlab
documentation, this is a "string enclosed in single quotation marks that
specifies the absolute or relative path of the local folder to contain the
downloaded contents."


f=ftp('ftp.gnu.org','anonymous','address@hidden')
cd(f,'/gnu/Licenses')
cd('tmp')
ascii(f)
mget(f, 'lgpl-3.0.txt', 'junk.txt')


The file is downloaded into tmp/lgpl-3.0.txt and should be downloaded into
tmp/junk.txt.
