I want to use FTP to copy multiple files from a remote machine so I can burn a backup here. I cannot find any syntax in Firefox yet in Internet Explorer 8 I can get a Windows-like display of all remote directories then use Windows commands to 'select all' and/or 'copy to folder' which does the bulk transfer with no further commands. The initial WinXP response to the FTP command is like Firefox in that I have to retrieve each file with a separate command.

hello, firefox has just a simple viewing capability for files on a ftp server. for more advanced functions please use an extension like fireftp: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/fireftp/
