Feature: Recursive Directory Download

Description of the Issue

First off great plugin-in, I use it all the time developing on Linux but using N++ on Windows. Right-click on a file in the NppFTP Window shows an option for "Download file", indeed, double-clicking the file downloads it (expected). Double-clicking a directory expands the directory (expected), but I think a nice feature would be to have the mouse right-click on a directory pop-menu include a "Download directory" option (new feature) which does a recursive download of all the directory contents. I mostly connect through SCP so this would be like an scp -r remote local.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Use mouse to right-click on a directory in the NppFTP Window
  2. Pop-up menu does not include "Download Directory (recursive)" option

Expected Behavior

Nothing expected yet - this is a new feature request.

Actual Behavior

Mouse right-click on a directory in the NppFTP Window produces pop-up menu, but does not include option for recursive directory download.

I'd love this as well and I think many others would too. Maybe good to have 2 variants..

--Download All Files (this folder) --Download All Files (recursively)

Either/or would be fine though. Thank you for the plugin!
