Download multiple folders/files in the web client

Post by FTP »

Web browser does not support multiple folders/files download at once, so we developed a browser extension "Wing Download Manager" for solving this problem.

- v1.07 improves the download process. In the old version, download can't continue when popup interface closes or disappears.
- v1.08 fixes a few issues and supports 15 languages.
- v1.11 is ready to support the new UI of WingFTP.
