When moving multiple files via FTP,
1) turn off interactive mode with the command: "prompt"
2) use the multiple put command: "mput" with your wildcards, like "mput *.mp3"

Conversely you can use "mget" to retreive multiple files.
If you don't do step 1, you'll have to confirm the transfer of each file.
Typing "prompt" again reenables interactive mode.
