My Question:
There are hundreds of unique URLs from where I have to download the zip file after clicking on the download icon. Is there any way to automate this process.
My process:
Open the unique web page URL,
Download icons appears.
Click on download icon to download the file.
Same process for rest of the pages.
Notes:
Each zip file has the different name.
Files are hosted in the secured server.
No access to directory folder.
Download icon position changes on every page.
Any chrome extension or fire fox ad don to solve this repeated task? Appreciate your help.
If you have download url list, then there are lots of add-ons that will help you download them, like DownThemAll
But if you do not have download url list, you will need to have a custom extension solution. Because, first extension needs to connect your server and retrieve download url before downloading the actual file. There needs to be Regular Expression difficulties which enforces custom extension solution.

I have several books in Gitbook and am bouncing users from the Sharepoint based intranet to documentation in Gitbook. Is there a way to automatically embed the Gitbook content into Sharepoint so it looks like it is integrated within the intranet?
I have successfully integrated Gitbook into Sharepoint. Initially I tried the answer provided above, but that rendered my gitbook inside a window within Sharepoint which looked bad to me.
Here is the way I accomplished it:
Using the Gitbook CLI Toolchain installed on a linux computer, issue the gitbook build command.
Take the output from this command, which is a folder called _book, and upload its contents to your Sharepoint documents folder.
Take care to replicate the folder structure exactly. This is a bit tedious since Sharepoint doesn't allow you to upload folders (at least not my instance).
Rename every .html document in the _book folder to .aspx. This allows Users to visit a page when they click a link rather than downloading the page. If i'm not mistaken, I also had to edit the links to my books pages inside the index.aspx page from .html to .aspx as well.
Here comes the cool part... visit the link provided for the (now) index.aspx. Get the link by clicking the ... button next to the file in Sharepoint. And...bingo, Sharepoint will serve your entire gitbook as a static site.
Hope this helps
We have been stuck on using Internet Explorer in my company for one single reason: when you click on a sharepoint link to a Document in IE, it opens the file as editable. So when you save it, it is automatically saved on the server.
On the other hand, with Chrome or other browsers, it downloads a copy of this file, so the user might loose changes because he thinks the file is saved on the server whereas really it is not...
Anyone thinks of a solution for that?
Thanks !

I am just starting with Aptana and I don't have the original HTML files for my web site. Is there a way that I can import my whole web site as a project or do I have to open each page from with Aptana and save with the original urls?
Thanks
I use Interachy which is a commercial Mac option. One open source Windows program is HTTrack.
If your site isn't large, it's often feasible to go through page by page and save each one as source. You also need to save all the images and CSS files, and reconstruct the folder directories, though it's goes faster than you might think.
Good luck!
I have a c# desktop app which connects to a site via a web browser control. The problem is I need to navigate to a specific section and download a excel file which is generated from a postback. I would like to either automate this process or bypass the file download dialog and save the file directly to a local drive.
Problem
The link is not a standard url. The site uses a postback script to get the file needed which then displays the file download dialog box. E.g. When you click on the button (javascript: postback) the file download dialog box is automatically loaded.
As stated I want to bypass the save options and automatically store the file in a predefined location. Any help would be much appreciated.
I find AutoIt http://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/ very useful for these kind of tasks. If you want to integrate it with your C# app, then you can call your AutoIt script via system calls. The difficulty is finding and following the link on the page, that will depend on how the page is laid out.
I have created an google script which go to my mail and fetch attachments and put it into a folder (shared as anyone with link), and share the link to folder with any given email.
But when others open that folder with link it open in google drive viewer(online). Have to open each and every file to download. Is there any way I can let them download whole batch in much more less stressing way?
I have tried out creating a folder (lets say folderchild) inside that folder(folderparent) then put all files in folderchild. But still same problem. Have to open that folderchild and open files in there and download them one by one.
Zipping attachment is not an option for my solution.
Any advices?
Thanks in advance.
They should regress to their own drive, choose the "Shared with Me" option, tick the required folder and use the "More" -> "download" option to download all the content in a zip file
If you share a map via Google drive and send the link via email your link has an url of following format:
https://drive.google.com/a/FOO/folderview?id=BAR&usp=sharing_eid
where FOO is the domainname of your organization and
BAR is the unique id of the folder (similar to i3AV_u1UsLmTa-dOm22I2XXgioDR8)
Change this url to the following
https://drive.google.com/drive/#folders/BAR
Now you can click on the name of the folder and download all files.
Note: this is what works today (Jan. '15) in an GAFE (Google Apps For Education) environment.
There is OPEN IN DRIVE option in upper right corner, (if you are logged in with your google account). It will put a folder of the same name on your google drive. Then you can right click on the folder and select Download option (zip file will be made and downloaded) :)
When they're viewing the folder in their Google Drive, don't they have the option to select it, click the "More" button and pick "Download"?
If not, that seems like a bug on Drive and you should report it in the Drive forum / issue tracker.
Select the file(s) first, I get that option after I select(ed) the files to download ;)
I don't have enough reputation to comment on user906489. His URL works, except in the case when using multiple google accounts and the url should not reference the first account.
In that case just insert u/USERID/ after https://drive.google.com/drive/, so that
https://drive.google.com/drive/#folders/BAR
becomes
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/USERID/#folders/BAR
where, USERID is the number (greater than zero) of your google account.
