Download a File to a specific folder

Posted on by Martinho Costa 779

With the web client, The function DownloadFromStream doest allow to specify the client folder where to save the file. Every file is saved to the browser default transfer folder.

In my scenario I want to save a txt file to a pre configured folder.

TempFile.CREATETEMPFILE();

TempFile.WRITE('abc');

TempFile.CREATEINSTREAM(NewStream);

DOWNLOADFROMSTREAM(NewStream,'','MyFolderPath','',MyFileName)

Whats the correct approach to apply on WebClient?

    There is no way to download to a specific folder because you are using web browser. It is restricted to the browser default download. You will probably need to go to other languages, such as JavaScript, to accomplish this.

    The only way I can think of consists of placing it onto a folder that both the server and the user can access, so like a shared folder. If that was the case, you could create the file server-side and then have the user go to it using that shared folder. Of course other sharing solutions could apply, like FTP p.e.
