Hi,

I have gone through some websites for downloading files from some share point locations.

but all the links have code for downloading single file.

but i required to download all the files present in share point folder.

i have website URL but don't have specific name of file because is according to dates on which date file is posted.

can you people help me to come out from this problem or else provide me some links for downloading all the files one by one.

Thanks In Advance

Please provide the URL of a site that contains files that you want to download.

You say "share point". Do you mean "shared"? If not, how does "share point" affect downloading files on the web?

Unless the website has an API in place (or directory browsing is enabled), you can't simply send a request that says "send me all of the files you have". You would need to either know the file names or guess them. When guessing, just keep sending GET requests to the server until you don't get a 404 error. It isn't efficient (and will be frowned upon if you aren't the owner of the website), but there aren't too many ways to download files you aren't sure actually exist.
