Note that only a genuine FTP address will work and anything HTTP related wonât work. Browse and select the files and folders you want like you would in a local folder, right click and select Copy. Then Paste into the location of your choice and the files will download. A âCopy to Folder. So, here is how to download whole directories using IE.

7. Wget
Wget is a free and very powerful file downloader that comes with a lot of useful features including resume support, recursive download, FTP/HTTPS support, and etc. In âThe Social Networkâ movie, Mark Zuckerberg is seen using the Wget tool to download all the student photos from his university to create Facemash. Wget is a command line tool which can be a bit difficult to use for some basic users.
Thankfully there are free front-end GUIâs for Wget such as VisualWget that make it so much easier to use Wget by simply clicking on the checkboxes rather than manually typing the command line arguments. Download VisualWget, extract and run VisualWget.exe. Click on the New icon to open a New Download window. Enter the URL that you want to download and select the location that you want to save the files to.
If you need to download multiple folders including subfolders, go to Advanced, click on Recursive Retrieval and tick on the first checkbox âârecursiveâ. Finally, click OK to start downloading.
Although there are a few GUIs for Wget, we recommend VisualWget because it is free, portable, comes together with Wget and there is no need to download separately and manually unpacking it to the programâs folder or even configuring the path. Note that if you are a Windows 10 user and donât already have .NET Framework 2/3.5 installed, you will need to download it during the VisualWget installation.
Download VisualWget
8. HTTrack
HTTrack is an offline browser that downloads the whole website for offline viewing. Software like this is capable of crawling into subfolders, downloading all or filtered files and then converting the live hyperlinks to an offline version. Some other offline browsers are Offline Explorer and Teleport but they are shareware and come with powerful parsing capabilities.
HTTrack is a good free alternative to the paid offline browsers. You can download the portable version of HTTrack, extract and run WinHTTrack.exe. Click Next, give the project a name and click Next.
Now enter or paste the URL(s) that you want to download to the Web Addresses box and click Next. If the URL requires authentication, click the Add URL button and you get to enter the login and password for the URL. Click Next and Finish. HTTrack will now start crawling the given URL and download files that it finds.
Download HTTrack
9. FileZilla
The best program to download all files and subfolders from an FTP server is of course going to be dedicated FTP client software like FileZilla. They obviously understand FTP commands and are able to crawl recursively into subfolders without problems. In FileZilla Client, all you need to do is enter the FTP address in the Host box, enter a username and password if it requires authentication, or leave it blank if not, and click the Quickconnect button.
Once youâre logged in, simply right click on a folder in the right pane and select Download which will start downloading all files and folders from the selected directory.
Please take note that FTP clients can only handle the FTP protocol and they cannot download files from HTTP web pages.
Download FileZillaPortable
10. Windows File Explorer FTP
A lot of people will know that Windows File Explorer can access FTP sites but a lot of people also wonât know that. Itâs pretty easy and quite basic but if you just want to select and download some files or folders on a site then it may be all you need and requires no extra software.
To access an FTP site all you have to do is enter its address in a File Explorer window address bar. Note that only a genuine FTP address will work and anything HTTP related wonât work. Browse and select the files and folders you want like you would in a local folder, right click and select Copy. Then Paste into the location of your choice and the files will download. A âCopy to Folderâ option is also available on right click.
The useful thing about the Windows Explorer option is it will recurse into subfolders so if you select a root folder everything inside it will download. Simply close the Explorer window or browse to a local folder when you want to close the FTP connection.

VWget does work, I am using it right now to download from a folder deep within a hos with no index.html found by using ?index.of? You do have to use the right settings, it took a couple of goes, the first 2 times it tried to download most of the domain lol.

The âChrono Download Managerâ (Chrome) was removed from Store 1-2 months ago, for unknown reasons.
The âSimple mass downloaderâ has a better Chrome version, more frequently updated.
The good news is that the DownThemAll returned as a web extension, on both Firefox and Chrome. Audacity 2.3.2 mac. Not multi threading yet (if ever), but still a very good option.
The only web extension with decent multi threading seems to be âMultithreaded Download Managerâ, on Firefox
As a general mass downloader, I still prefer the âSimple mass Downloaderâ, at least on Chrome, but DownThemAll may be the most future proof of all.

Typical really, this article was updated almost exactly 4 weeks ago and already one extension has been removed from the Chrome store and another that didnât work has come back from the deadâ¦
Sounds like it will have to be updated yet again in the near future.

However, if youâre dissatisfied and ready for change, Dropbox is my top choice. Iâve been a user since 2008 and never had an issue. The service is supported by a large ecosystem of apps, itâs easy to use and share files with others, and it continues to evolve in positive ways. Though some dislike its revamped Dropbox desktop app, I appreciate the extra features it puts within reach, such as the ability to quickly create G Suite files. That said, Box, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive are all great choices for most users, depending upon your needs and budget.

Visualwget DOES NOT WORK.
It does not download subdirectories after following your instrusctions.
Downthemall is the same.
Both are files in single directory or the .index file only.

WinHTTrack and VisualWget are crap.
Thank you a LOT. In the past I used flashget mainly, but now it is mot compatible with latest fire fox, I donât want to risk continue using older version of FireFox.
vwget did what I needed exactly, I would not have known about the recursive feature without your help. Cube world mac download no survey download. THANK YOU!
