Download a directory without zipping


validkeys

Recommended Posts

I have groupings of files in different folders. The users have the option of downloading each file individually or the entire folder that that file is in.

 

is there a way for me to allow the user to download the entire folder without me having to zip the folder? Like sometimes on torrent you can download something and it shows up in a folder unzipped. Any ideas?

 

Thanks

The short answer is that there is no easy way.  Browsers are very defensive about downloading (due to trojans and viruses), and will expect user confirmation on every file downloaded.

 

Some sites get around this by providing a control or a program which does the downloading.
