The Get Directories and Files command is used to download multiple files and/or directories with one command (you can also download files and directories by pressing the Get… button). You can select the files or directories you wish to download in the file list; if none are selected you will prompted for a file or directory name. Then you will be prompted for the folder in which to save the files and directories on your Macintosh disk.
You can also type or paste a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) into the Get Directories and Files dialog. This lets you download a file or directory on any server, regardless of whether you are currently signed on. See the “Uniform Resource Locators” topic for more information on URLs.
The names of the downloaded files will be set automatically, based on the names that the files have on the remote computer. All format conversions will also be performed automatically, according to the settings in the Preferences dialog.
The progress of the file transfer, including the name of the file being transferred, is shown in the Status panel. You can cancel the transfer by pressing the Stop button.
