Quicker way to download files from FTP server in Google Chrome

Let's say I am browsing an ftp server, and there is a ton of files I want to download. Usually I go about it by

[Right-Click link] + [Click "Save link as.."] + [Click "Save"]

While this works, imagine doing this for this for 200 files. Is there any smarter way to go about this?

Solution 1:

Chrome extensions

There are some Chrome extensions that allow you to select multiple links and then trigger the needed option through the context menu - I can name two: uSelect iDownload and Linkclump.

Both extensions allow you to download several files at once, and setup multiple actions to perform after the download is complete.

PS: there are a lot of FTP clients out there that can be installed as Chrome extensions as well, so there's really not a strong enough reason not to use this instead of the above approach... however, I'm trying to respond to the specific question as asked by the OP -- "Is there any smarter way to go about [downloading files from a FTP server, instead of doing [Right-Click link] + [Click "Save link as.."] + [Click "Save"]]?"
