Is it possible to download several or an entire file of jpeg pictures all at one time rather than one at a time?
If so how? or point me in right direction.

The only way to do that is to put all of the jpeg's into a single zip file on the server (using Compress in the File Manager, for example), download the zip file, then unzip it on your PC. Zipping them won't save any space (jpeg's are already about as compressed as they can get), but it will at least put them all into one file.

I should also point out, however, that almost any FTP client program, like FileZilla or WS_FTP, allows you to select multiple files, or even multiple folders, on the server side, and copy all of them to your PC. Technically, it's still downloading one file at a time, making a new connection for each transfer (that's a limitation of the FTP protocol), but you don't have to sit there and "attend" the process - you just turn it loose, walk away, and come back when it's done.
