ftp and sftp do not offer things like if/then/else and so on.
You would have to connect with ftp/sftp, get the list, hand it over to shell script logic, decide what to get or not and issue ftp/sftp again.
Since you are using sftp, you might want to scp instead to write more compact commands than ftp syntax.
