(a simple app specific question like this belongs on the app's support forum, or perhaps SuperUser but not ServerFault, but as I know and I'm taking a work break I'll answer anyway)

You would have to use the Select Files command from the Mark menu (usually bound to the key numpad:+) and type your match pattern (i.e. *.php;*.js) into there. You can then operate on the selected files as usual.

How to select files in subfolders too? "Including directories" option doesn't work. – Semyon Perepelitsa Nov 11 '09 at 14:06
That is probably not possible. You would need a client that you could script. Or perhaps use another protocol if possible (for instance using rsync over the SSH connection if permitted by your server config - a combination of its --recursive option and --include/--exclude options woudl do what you are looking for). – David Spillett Nov 11 '09 at 15:33
