Linux command inside C code: /* treat as comment?

In C, I want to run linux command. Namely,

int status;
status=system("lftp ftp://192.168.1.1 -e "mget -E /2015/Date*/*Snap/*.csv");

The * above is wildcard matching.

The C compiler thinks this is comment: /* and */

How do modify my call do the C compiler won't think this is comment.
