I've sent a patch to the mailing lists that adds this support. It should be available in the next release.

You are right, the FTP code branch simply doesn't apply the regexes given on the command line.

The --reject-regex and --accept-regex options are ignored by wget during recursive FTP downloads.

I would expect the following command to reject all files, but instead it downloads the 9 small files from this public ftp server:

    wget -r -nd --reject-regex='.*' 'ftp://ftp.rcsb.org/pub/pdb/data/status/20070425/'

The problem has been reported a few times on stack overflow:
- https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/379922/wget-regex-fails-getting-files-over-ftp
- https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/439931/wget-regex-options-ignored-over-ftp

Tested with 1.18 on Gentoo and 1.19.4 from Homebrew on OS 10.12
