Let's say I am browsing an ftp server, and there is a ton of files I want to download. Usually I go about it by
[Right-Click link] + [Click "Save link as.."] + [Click "Save"]
While this works, imagine doing this for this for 200 files. Is there any smarter way to go about this?

There are some Chrome extensions that allow you to select multiple links and then trigger the needed option through the context menu - I can name two: uSelect iDownload and Linkclump.
Both extensions allow you to download several files at once, and setup multiple actions to perform after the download is complete.
PS: there are a lot of FTP clients out there that can be installed as Chrome extensions as well, so there's really not a strong enough reason not to use this instead of the above approach... however, I'm trying to respond to the specific question as asked by the OP -- "Is there any smarter way to go about [downloading files from a FTP server, instead of doing [Right-Click link] + [Click "Save link as.."] + [Click "Save"]]?"

7what about using a real ftp client like FileZilla ? – user2196728 – 2014-01-01T15:37:44.520
2Yes, use a dedicated FTP client. Browsers like Chrome offer only limited FTP features. – Andrew Lambert – 2014-01-03T00:49:46.573
