How to Copy Complete Folder from Webserver
Hi Guys,

ich wanna Copy with NSIS a complete Folder from my Webserver to a destination folder to the Client of the User.

How does that works? Ich can manage it with a File....but it doenst works with a complete Foler an the File which are in the folder.

Filetest:

InetLoad::load /POPUP "Filename" "http://www.webserver/content/filename" "$EXEDIR\filemane" \

But how does it works with a complete Foler?

Thx an lot for your help.


your web server will have to present an index (either the default web server directory listing index or a custom one you write out using e.g. ASP, PHP, CGI), which you can then read and parse, and get each individual file from. There's no direct method to get a complete folder via web/ftp requests that I know of.


in some cases, you might have luck using wget or curl
