Download a directory from FTP

[almaz]

I believe there is a download manager which can in the background download a file from FTP. I need to download a directory (Blu-Ray disk copy) from FTP. It has multiple files and multiple directories. Is there a way to download it easily as a set and not one by one? I currently use Total Commander on PC to do it.

Is that an app that can be installed (or already installed) on Asustor device?

FTP Explorer app already installed.

FTP Explorer is an FTP client that allows your ASUSTOR NAS to directly connect to and transfer files from FTP sites. Its intuitive interface is able to display the connected FTP site's file and directory structure allowing you to transfer files via drag and drop. FTP Explorer supports resuming downloads, the deleting of remote files, an FTP site manager and also FTPS connections which allow you to enjoy secure file transfers.

I haven't used this app and this description only mentions files. Maybe someone familiar with the app can chime in here.

I tried it through the Live Demo, but could not see how to download a file or a folder with files off an external web site... Can somebody explain, please?

Hi almaz,

You can use FTP Explorer or FTP Backup to download folders and directories from FTP sites.

FTP Explorer works much like a typical FTP Client allowing you to drag and drop files and folders from the FTP site to your NAS. You can download FTP Explorer from App Central. I think this would be the simpler option out of the two.

You can also use FTP Backup found under Backup & Restore to download from FTP sites. When using this method you would have to create an FTP Backup job for the site and directories that you wish to download.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thanks,
