I just had a look at the ftp site given in the orignal message . The
filenames are actually symbolic links.
$ wget -m -c --retr-symlinks
ftp://ftp.rcsb.org/pub/pdb/data/structures/all/pdb
will retrieve them all in one go:

=================================================
--18:04:34--
ftp://ftp.rcsb.org/pub/pdb/data/structures/all/pdb/pdb160d.ent.Z
           => `ftp.rcsb.org/pub/pdb/data/structures/all/pdb/pdb160d.ent.Z'
==> CWD not required.
==> PASV ... done.    ==> RETR pdb160d.ent.Z ... done.
Length: 34

100%[====================================>] 14,097        15.93K/s

The directory structure saved is :
your_home_directory/ftp.rcsb.org/pub/pdb/data/structures/all/pdb

into which you should see all the downloaded files:
pdb05c1.noc.Z  pdb0in3.noc.Z  pdb100d.ent.Z  pdb114d.ent.Z  pdb131d.ent.Z
