Yes, use the ls or dir commands from a ftp session first and save the output for further processing.
Apart from being able to deduce that this is a question about the unix ftp command from the mention of mget there is no mention of any environmental details like Operating Systems, Shells or other useful details.
Let's see your attempt first.

Using the instruction mget (within ftp) and with "Interactive mode off", I want to get all files from directory (DirAA), but not the files in sub-directories.

SHAR(1) BSD General Commands Manual SHAR(1)
NAME
shar -- create a shell archive of files
SYNOPSIS
shar file ...
DESCRIPTION
shar writes an sh(1) shell script to the standard output which will recreate the file hierarchy specified by the command line operands.
Directories will be recreated and must be specified before the files they contain (the find(1) utility does this correctly).
shar is normally used for distributing files by ftp(1) or mail(1).
EXAMPLES
To create a shell archive of the program ls(1) and mail it to Rick:
cd ls
shar `find . -print` | mail -s "ls source" rick
To recreate the program directory:
mkdir ls
cd ls
...
<delete header lines and examine mailed archive>
...
sh archive
SEE ALSO
compress(1), mail(1), tar(1), uuencode(1)
HISTORY
The shar command appeared in 4.4BSD.
BUGS
shar makes no provisions for special types of files or files containing magic characters.
SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
It is easy to insert trojan horses into shar files. It is strongly recommended that all shell archive files be examined before running them
through sh(1). Archives produced using this implementation of shar may be easily examined with the command:
egrep -v '^[X#]' shar.file
