I have yet to find a website which pleasantly lets me download a bunch of things in an efficient and organized manner that compares with FTP. The hilarity of buying a Humble Bundle and pressing "download all" and watching your browser spam "save as" windows for a minute and a half...

I kinda wish I could (S)FTP a lot more things than I can today.

Wget? Like this isn't a protocol issue but a website issue. You can do this sort of thing with http just fine.

Can you POST with wget? wput? I should know this...

The comment i was responding to was about download not upload.

Certainly though you can do multiple upload on a protocol level in http (resumable upload less so)

Afterall, S3 clients are all http under the hood, and that is basically the defacto standard now.

There certainly exists features in ftp not present in http, but they were rarely used/bad ideas (hello server to server transfer)
