FTPing all files or selected files in a directory?

Hello,
I've been transferring files using ftp and i noticed that it keeps on
connecting for every file being transferred. Is there any way to just
connect once and then do all the transfers?
Currently i have something like this:
filelist: read ftp://user:[psswd--111--222--333--444]/
foreach file filelist [write/binary file read/binary join
ftp://user:[psswd--111--222--333--444]/ [file]]

Nope. That is the way that the FTP protocol operates. It hasn't changed
in yonks and probably never will.
