Is it possible to batch download files from my VPhot FTP account?

How do I delete files from the FTP account?

I recently found a way to download multiple images from my FTP folder.  In Windows File Explorer, I mapped a folder to my AAVSO FTP folder (CCHD) at ftp://ftp.aavsonet.aavso.org/aavso/cchd/.

Open a Windows File Explorer, left click on This PC and then right click within the right pane. Select Add a New Network Location. Then follow the wizard instructions.  Note you will need to cut and paste the FTP link address from a browser for use in the wizard.  Also, use Log in Anonymously.  Please let me know if there's anything more i can do to help.

 The only thing I have not accomplished is how to remove files from my online FTP folder.

Thanks Chuck.  This is encouraging.  I neglected to mention that I use a Mac and Firefox.

FTP Downloads Alternative

Phil et al:

Another alternative to download multiple images is a FTP Client like FileZilla.

FileZilla

Ken,

Yes, I just discovered FileZilla (in a list along with numerous other FTP clients).  If you're happy with File Zilla, then that's probably the one I'll use.

Of course, I'll have to update my OS to use it.  Oh Well, this had to be done sooner or later.

Thanks,

Phil
