Description

[Todd]

Hi All,

  Okay, I know I am pushing it here, BUT, would you add
this to the list of wishes in the wish list:

   When I go to an ftp site, I would love to be able to
hold down the CTRL key and select multiple file to be downloaded.  

Many thanks,
--Tony

To FTP.  Pretty sure this is already filed.

This won't really be doable in the html view. I'm sure this is a dupe, but I
can't find it now

The bug discussing such things is bug 9274

9274 is for a context menu item "open n links in new windows".  This bug is
asking for a way to download multiple files, and "open link in new window"
doesn't work well for downloading.

Two possible ways to fix this bug:
- Add an additional item to the selection context menu, "save links as...", and
use the html view for ftp.
- Make ftp tree view mutli-select.

This would probably need to end up interacting with the d/l manager.

-> future

This should be duped to one of those "single-click vs. double-click" discussion
bugs. (A case for single-click not firing a file open/display).

Could this be a dupe of Bug 96181?
