Hi, We have an existing application that allows administrators to configure links to various different documents that exist on SharePoint sites. The documents configured as links could be from different SharePoint sites.
There is a requirement to enable the download feature for the application so that all documents configured are downloaded to local work station of the user. We followed an approach to use Java in Web Application using HTTPURLConnection, downloading byte stream, using Java Zip package to zip the files and send the zip stream to browser so that browser would ask the user to either save/open the zip.
Now, we have a requirement that the files are automatically saved to local workstation in a pre-defined folder without the browser (open/save) and not having the users to open zip or extract. After the download is finished, the folder where the documents are saved automatically should show up.
We are not quite sure, if this can be achieved using any web technology because of limited access to local work station. Appreciate if any one has any comments/suggestion how these requirements can be met (client or web technologies).
Thanks.
