I would argue that this is not a trivial issue and is a major limitation of the 
FileTransfer api.  As for an API proposal this would be simple enough:

{code}
            var options = new FileUploadOptions();
            //allow this
            options.files = [{fileKey: "file", fileName: 
imageURI.substr(imageURI.lastIndexOf('/')+1)}];
            //as well as this
            options.fileKey="file";
            options.fileName=imageURI.substr(imageURI.lastIndexOf('/')+1);
            options.mimeType="image/jpeg";

            var params = {};
            params.value1 = "test";
            params.value2 = "param";

            options.params = params;

            var ft = new FileTransfer();
            ft.upload(imageURI, encodeURI("http://some.server.com/upload.php";), 
win, fail, options);
{code}

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-200
>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Plugin File Transfer
>    Affects Versions: 1.3.0
>         Environment: Windows XP, Android, Lenovo ThinkPad
>            Reporter: Matt Accola
>            Assignee: Andrew Grieve
>            Priority: Trivial
>
> FileTransfer only allows one file to be uploaded at a time. Should allow 
> multiple files to be uploaded at once.
> This might be necessary if the server-side service requires all files to be 
> submitted at once to ensure any operations on the files are atomic.
> This question has been asked on the phonegap Google Group, 
> http://groups.google.com/group/phonegap/browse_thread/thread/bdc40098c2954870.
> (Update: Since this requires a UI change for parity, I've added more 
> components and moved it out of 1.7.  This should be added to the Roadmap, so 
> I'm leaving it assigned to myself so I'm reminded to do this - Joe)
