Problem in Expect

Hi Im writing an expect program for automating ftp. Having trouble with mget:

Code:

expect "ftp>" {send "mget *.txt\r"}
expect "mget*?" {send "n\r" ; expect_continue}

But expect even on ftp prompt "n" gets sent

Please help

Code:

ftp> mget *.txt
mget elvis.txt? n
mget marcus.txt? n
mget lara.txt? n
ftp> n
?Ambiguous command
ftp> bye
