Download directories via browser






















One of my friend was seeking my help creating a script to download bulk files and folder from internal office training web portal, just newly created. Folders and files web structure was looking like below. The first url link shows what are the different training material was available, downloading one file at time was going to take long time.

Once I click on any of the required link, It has the PPTs, video files and folders stored into, further directories. Once url is validated it will start downloading the file and shows nice tree view, If any of the file is not downloadable or errors into , it will give me message in red.

All the info and main cmdlet of the script is Invoke-WebRequest, Which fetch information from web site. Once script is execution is complete, all files are downloaded, you can view the download folder, I further drilled down folders and viewed, files they are there. Download this script here , it is also available on github. But like any browser, you can also use it to browse folders and files on your local device, just like Windows Explorer in Windows and Finder in macOS.

Chrome has a full-featured navigation system that lets you explore all the storage devices connected to your computer, tablet, or smartphone—it will even open simple text and image files directly from the browser without any extensions. Here are three ways to use a browser to explore your files. Internet of Things IoT. Enabling Remote Work. Small and Medium Business. Humans of IT. Green Tech. MVP Award Program.

Video Hub Azure. Microsoft Business. Microsoft Enterprise. Below, you can see an actual example of browser-fs-access as it is used in Excalidraw. Of special interest is how the saveAsJSON method passes either a file handle or null to browser-fs-access' fileSave method, which causes it to overwrite when a handle is given, or to save to a new file if not.

Whether in Excalidraw or your app, the UI should adapt to the browser's support situation. The screenshots below show the difference between Excalidraw's responsive main app toolbar on iPhone and on Chrome desktop. Note how on iPhone the Save As button is missing. Working with system files technically works on all modern browsers. On browsers that support the File System Access API, you can make the experience better by allowing for true saving and overwriting not just downloading of files and by letting your users create new files wherever they want, all while remaining functional on browsers that do not support the File System Access API.

The browser-fs-access makes your life easier by dealing with the subtleties of progressive enhancement and making your code as simple as possible.
