Not with the software that Pentax provides inside the O-FC1 card.
BUT, if you download one of the "non-Pro" FluCard apps from the manufacturers site, many of them will connect and download JPEGs in the manner you seek. The reason I say "non-Pro" is because the apps that end in the word "Pro" don't seem to recognize the Pentax-branded FluCard, but the older, non-Pro ones do...
I've used the "Flucard Instant Wi-fi" app on MacOS, and it will download JPEG after JPEG until everything is transferred over to a folder of your choosing... even while I'm controlling the camera. It just does it in the background. (Apparently the Windows version of the same app will also download raw files and video files, but not the Mac version.)

Many thanks JohnX for the info. However I visited the Trek website but could not see any 'non-Pro Apps' listed for downloading, they were all FluCard Pro versions listed.

I am sorry John but I went to this website :- http://www.flu-card.com/ and then clicked on the panel FluCard Apps which took me to another page showing list of apps.
However every one I clicked on appeared to be FluCard Pro apps and I still could not find any 'non-Pro' versions. Is it possible that I was not on the correct website.?

I see this list cambuff, there seem to be windows apps that are not pro.

It looks like they've added 'Pro' to every app, but, when you open some of the Windows apps you'll find they are 'old', insofar as some only support Windows from XP to 7.

Thanks Steep and John for replies. John, I have been to the Trek webpage again and ordered the App ' Flucard instant wi-fi' and also created an account. After ordering, a messgage appeared to say " Self collection Monday - Friday", does that mean I must return to the web site during the week in order to download the App. ?

If you go to the order page, under ref/product there's an active link to download the software.Thanks Steep and John for replies.

HI JOHN - I thought you might like to know that I went to the link you provided and downloaded the App. The name when I ran it was still FluCard Pro but it ran OK and loaded all the jpegs from the FluCard Pro in the camera to my laptop. I am now satisfied and happy many thanks to you for your efforts.

No problem. All I need now is a K3 and a Flucard myself!

so you have
FluCardŽ Pro Instant WIFI (Windows) = works with pentax card
FluCardŽ Pro Instant WIFI Pro (Windows) = NOT compatable
Confusing but true
