You can use ftp_nlist with pattern to retreive file names from ftp folder. And then use ftp_get in loop

$fileList = ftp_nlist($conn_id, 'subdirectory_name/file_prefix_*.txt');

for ($i = 0; $i < count($fileList); $i++) {
    $localFile = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), 'ftp_in');
    if (ftp_get($conn_id, $localFile, $fileList[$i], FTP_BINARY)){
      //do something
    }
}
