in reply to using Net::FTP to get a file without a full name

You have to glob the wildcard explicitly at the local site. If I understand your question correctly, you want

for my $file ( glob "$myfile*" ) {
    $ftp->put( $file ) or die "PUT $file failed: $!\n";
}

    Hi,

    Sorry, my mistake. I meant to 'GET' file(s) from a remote
    server instead

    Thanks!

      Then you can list the files on the remote site and filter the list with whatever pattern you want to use. 
      my @list = $ftp->ls();
my @files = grep { /some pattern.*/ } @list;
foreach my $file (@files) {
    $ftp->get($file);
}
