Is there a column limit for data downloaded by FTP?

Sorry if the wording was weird, I am working on gathering solar flux data from NOAA via FTP and I can download the information I need, however the file cuts off once the element reaches the 100th character. Is there a way to pull all of the data so that this doesn't happen? Here is my code:

ftpobj = ftp('ftp.ngdc.noaa.gov');
cd(ftpobj,'STP/GEOMAGNETIC_DATA/INDICES/KP_AP');
mget(ftpobj,'2000');
fluxdata = fileread('2000');

The data is supposed to appear like this (without the header or the spaces, those are there to tell you what characters represent which data):

yyyy mm dd nnnn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nnn nnn nnn nnn nnn nnn nnn nnn nnn nnn n.n n nnn nnn.n n nnn.n nnn.n nnn.n nnn.n nnn.n

But instead the file that is downloaded shows up like:

0001012272 75347403343304337327 56 39 27 18 32 15 32 22 301.36 48125.60

If I break it out how it's supposed to look you'll see it's missing data:

00 01 01 2272 7 53 47 40 33 43 30 43 37 32 7 56 39 27 18 32 15 32 22 30 1.3 6 48 125.6 0

How do I download this file in a way that lets me keep all of the data?

Thanks!

I downloaded the file using other means than MATLAB, and the data matches what is shown in MATLAB. Can you explain how you got the data with more columns?
