Download multiple files without browse

Hi,
I need to automate a download process in an app I am
currently writing. I need to take a bunch of files from a folder on
my server (
http://www.somesite.com/folder/)
and download them to a specific location on my local disk
(C:\server_files\).
Because I don't want the user to have to specify each file
individually from a browse window I don't think I can use the
standard fileReference.download() method to perform the operation.
I have been trying to find out some information about using
URLStream but I am not sure if this is the easiest or even correct
path to peruse?
Any help or advise on this issue would be greatly
appreciated.
Regards
Adam

Hey Lebedinsky,
Sadly the only solution I've come across is to zip the files
so that they are all packaged together but this is not a viable
solution for me. From what I can see the operating system will
always prompt the user for a location to save each file as a means
of security.
Please keep me posted if you find out anything, and I mean
anything, about this issue?

Download Multiple Files?? (Servlets/Jsp)

Hello Forum Members,
I need to download multiple files from Server on a single click of button thats says "download". Using Servlets/Jsp only( I don't want to use applets/or Zip the files).
The scenario would be on the browser I will have 'n' number of checkboxes each corresponding to a file and there is a button that say's download. Once I click "download" the browser should prompt me to save in a directory.

I don't know if there's a Java implementation already out there (i'm sure there must be), but I think you'd need a separate Download Manager to be able to handle multiple file downloads. I'm all but positive that the standard download isn't gonna cut it, especially if the user selects a whole bunch of files. I don't think the built in download function allows for more than one file to download at a time, so unless you want a whole bunch of download windows all going at once, you'll need to either find (or implement) something that can.

Download multiple files

hi,all
downloading files from server has been discussed for many times, i have known how to download one file after reading some older topics,but now i want to download
multiple files,and I want browser prompt "Save As" only one time, then all the files would be downloaded to the same location,can anybody give me some advice?
thanks & regards

Hi,
I don't think it sounds like what you're tyring to do would be possible for security reasons. I'd be quite worried if a browser was allowed to save multiple files after only asking once.
I guess one solution would be to zip all the files up into one zip file (see JavaDocs for java.util.zip) and then transfer this zip file (this would also probably help with download times). This may not be the ideal solution for you though.

Download multiple files in one step

Hi,
my first try with acrobat.com with uploading some pictures which I like to share with friends led me to the question, how they can download my 18 pictures in one step. I put them in a workspace and gave them access. You can mark all files, but there is no menu point which offers you to download all files in one step.
Is there a way to do this in one step?
Greetings
Mario

Hello Mario,
Thank you for posting. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to download multiple files at once; this functionality is high on our list of planned enhancements, so I encourage you to stay tuned for future releases.
Best regards,

Aria2 does not download multiple files at a time

I'm trying to speed up my system upgrades by using aria2, but it won't speed up anything as it does not download multiple files at a time.
As per this wiki post, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Im … erformance , "using aria2", I've installed aria2 and added the line
XferCommand = /usr/bin/aria2c --allow-overwrite=true -c --file-allocation=none --log-level=error \
-m2 --max-connection-per-server=2 --max-file-not-found=5 --min-split-size=5M --no-conf \
--remote-time=true --summary-interval=60 -t5 -d / -o %o %u
to the options section in pacman.conf. Pacman still works, but it isn't sped up. When pacman -Syu'ing, a normal line shows:
#1 SIZE:1.3MiB/2.0MiB(63%) CN:1 SPD:50.0KiBs ETA:15s
What's going on?
P.S. I use the line reflector -l 5 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist before doing a system upgrade.

Using aria2c will download files over 5MB with multiple connections but will not download multiple files at the same time. Pacman calls aria2c with the first url, waits for it to finish, then calls aria2c with the second etc...
If you want to download multiple packages simultaneously, see http://xyne.archlinux.ca/projects/pacman2aria2/

Download multiple files with 1 HttpURLConnection

Hi,
We have an application that downloads small text files (< 2 Kb) from a webserver. These files are downloaded 1 by 1 when needed. We open a HttpURLConnection, download 1 file and close the connection immediately afterwards. This is done for each file and hence produces a significant overhead.
For performance reasons (both client and server side), we would like to open a connection to the webserver once, download a number of files and then close the connection.
Currently, our code roughly looks like:
InputStream is;
HttpURLConnection con;
int resp;
try {
    URL url = new URL(location);
    con = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
    resp=con.getResponseCode();
    if(resp==HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
        is = con.getInputStream();
        // ... read data from the InputStream
        is.close();
} catch (MalformedURLException murle) {
    murle.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
    ioe.printStackTrace();
}Is it even possible to download multiple files from a web server using a HttpURLConnection? If so, how? :-)
Please note that the solution should be compliant with J2SE 1.1, since we are writing an MHP application!
Thanks in advance...

Seerix,
You might be able to fudge the settings of the URL class :
Class URLStreamHandler
Method protected void setURL
Sets the fields of the URL argument to the indicated values. Only classes derived from URLStreamHandler are supposed to be able to call the set method on a URL.
But this is not the best way, as URLs are supposed to be constant.
Your alternative, is to create a Socket, deal with the protocol requirements
(i.e. HTTP GET, POST and so on) then you can request any number files
on that same connection. The only thing that this saves is connection build up and tear down.
You could also multi-thread your original code ....... Although that might
only save you some network transit time.

OSD: Downloading multiple files is very slow

I has a exe software. It is not a single file package, it contains a lot of files. when I installed this software in OSD, I found it would spend 15~20minutes to download files.
It was very strange. The software is only 750 mb size. the speed of downloading 6 GB OS image is also much faster than this software.
I know downloading multiple files is slower than downloading a single file, if their size are same.
But the downloading of multiple files in OSD is "really" very slow.
Why? Cause of BITS or RDC? How to fix it?
PS：I update to SCCM 2012 R2 with CU1, add the below into SCCM
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\DP]
"RamDiskTFTPBlockSize"=dword:00004000
http://windowsdeployments.net/how-to-speed-up-pxe-boot-in-wds-and-sccm/
Now, the download speed up to 4 minutes, but it still slower than the normal copy & paste.
Test result:
OSD: 2.6G
single image, 2 minutes
OSD: 750m multiple files, 4 mintues
after OSD, copy & paste from network drive, 750 multiple files, 1 mintue

I had updated to CU1 and add this into regedit . It is quicker than before, but it still slower than the normal.

Is it possible to download multiple files as zip from Amazone S3 directly

We need to download multiple files from Amazone S3 at a time in a zipped format. We use flex 3 and coldfusion 8 for development.

Of course it is. Try it. Or, asked differently, what did you try that did not work?

How do you download multiple apps without having to enter the password each time

How do you download multiple apps without having to enter the password each time

You don't, this is a security measure which can't be changed, however, if you purchase another App within 15 minutes your password should not be required.

How can I download multiple files simultaneously? e.g. 6 files

When I attempt to download multiple files (say 5 in number), the Mozilla allows only two files too be downloaded simultaneously. I wanted to change the option of downloading six files together but did not find the feature that could do so. Can you please kindly help or there is no such feature in Mozilla?

There is a hidden preference for this. Check out this article: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server Network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]
If you haven't changed Firefox settings through about:config before, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)

Download a file without opening new window

Hi everybody,
I need to save a file to local PC into a certain predefined file in such a way that user does not get any pop-ups or new windows - i.e. 'in background'.
I have tried 'FileDownload' - this get file content displayed in new window and if saved is to be allowed - a save pop-up is displayed.
If I try attach_file_to_response of cl_wd_runtime_services - it also gives a pop-up.
Does anybody know a way to download a file to local PC in such a way that the content of the file is not displayed in the new pop-up window and save dialog does not appear?
Thank you for your help.
Helen

Hi Olena,
You will not be able to download a file in the background due to the browser security defaults. All browsers always prompt the users to accept files otherwise viruses and trojans would be able to be installed on your pc without you accepting them.
I know it is possible to write via SAPGui without a prompt but not from a browser.
Sorry.

Want to download a file without using adobe

I opened a file that I guess shouldnt have been opened when downloading and now every time I try to download it automatically saves as adobe and when I called the company they said not to. So how can I stop it from being opened or saved as adobe?

What is your operating system? Download from where: a website? Using what browser?
Then: what kind of file? What means "saved as adobe"?
Have you tried to just download the file normally, without opening it "in adobe" (whatever that means) ?

Download ZIP file without changing file extension

I regularly download a zipped csv file, of the format: "filename.csv.gz". As the name does not change, Firefox adds a digit to distinguish it, so for example I get "filename.csv-3.gz". This is a pain as it changes the file extension which means that I cannot open the extracted file without first renaming it. I want to keep an archive of all the files, so deleting them each time isn't really an option, and neither is moving them to a different location each time. Is there any way the naming convention for downloads can be changed?

I think you have to disable it in your Operating system:

How to download multiple files from Creative Cloud

I uploaded about 30 photos to creative cloud storage. Now I cannot find a way to download a group or all at the same time. You can select multiples and move to different folders within CC, but can't download multiples. Had I known this before using it, I would have made a zip folder of images. It seems a bit clunky if this is true.

[email protected]
Thanks for the info. As a professional user, more functionality in the storage would be helpful. Right now I'm using other file transfer and storage soulutions that are far superior.
I think most Cloud users would very much agree with you.
The Cloud today is a reasonable version 1 product but it's clunky, lacks fundamental features and is a latecomer to a rapidly maturing market. Other offerings currently shine in comparison.
Our expectations as consumers are very high because we're used to the Dropboxes (and other superior 3rd party solutions) out there.
Adobe has been inundated with feature suggestions and enhancements from users. The more, the better.
They might, as they claim, be working on improvements but they've got to get a move on before the Cloud tarnishes its own reputation too much due to lack of (expected) features.
