I need to download around 2000 files from a Sharepoint website and it is gonna take me ages to do that by downloading files one by one when I connect to website via some web browser...

I would prefer to use something like Total commander, WinSCP or SmartFTP... This is the address of Sharepoint website:

http://ecampus.ucn.dk/my-ecampus/classsites/pswMaterial/SitePages/Home.aspx

Should I also write the credentials, so that you try to connect to it? ;-) I can change the password anytime...

If it was possible to map the Sharepoint directory to my laptop as a network drive, it would also be a solution...

Thank you very much !!!!!

You can map a SharePoint library to a network drive quite easily. I'm guessing that you're using a publishing site or a team site with those features activated.

  • In your URL, knock off the home.aspx to leave you with http://ecampus.ucn.dk/my-ecampus/classsites/pswMaterial/SitePages/
  • In your desktop press Windows Key and E to bring up the Windows Explorer
  • Press Alt to bring up the menu bar and head for Tools --> Map Network Drive. This brings up a new dialog box.
  • In this box, select the Drive letter and then post the URL from the first step on. All other options should remain as is
  • The box will close and you'll see the document library listed on the available destinations on the left of the Windows Explorer

Hope that makes sense, please let us know if not.
