I am downloading some datasets using 'mget' in MATLAB.
For certain datasets that are already in the download directory, I get a notification to overwrite or otherwise as follows:
Overwrite local file 'ABCD0010.zip'?
Destination directory already contains file 'ABCD0010.zip'.
Choose, if you want to overwrite the file or skip this transfer and keep existing file.

(Y)es, (N)o, (C)ancel, Yes to A(l)l, N(o) to All, New na(m)e, Ne(w)er only: Cancel
I have input the options above as string without success. I'd appreciate an assistance.

What if you just press Y, not 'Y' as string, to carry out the download? If it fails, it may be easier and faster to use other softwares for FTP connection.

Thank you Shojiro, pressing Y did not help either. I guess I have to work with other ftp software then.
