How to copy multiple files from an FTP site?

Factual Questions
1

I don’t really like asking computer related questions here because I know thats not what this site is for but I’m stumped and would appreciate some help.

I’m trying to download back-issues of a classic games magazine I used to read. Is there anyway to copy these files/images all at once instead of labouriously clicking to copy them to my hard-drive one by one (I’d like to read them offline)

eg:

ftp://ftp.worldofspectrum.org/pub/sinclair/magazines/YourSinclair/Issue05/Pages/

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Use an FTP client like Filezilla - https://filezilla-project.org/

I just tried it with FZ and it works like a charm.

Great, thank you, I’ll give that a try.

If you use FireFox, try the extension DownThemAll . It will easily do what you want.

That worked, thank you!

if you’re using a command-line ftp client, then the “mget” command will get multiple files.

I think the “prompt” defaults to on…so you’ll want to send a prompt command so it doesn’t ask you to confirm every file.
