quick python script to download all files of a certain extension from a html web directory to a local folder.

make sure you have beautiful soup installed: pip install beautifulsoup4

todo: create folder if it doesnt exist

from urllib2 import urlopen
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

webDir = 'https://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/'
localDir = 'c:\\webdl2\\'

urlpath =urlopen(webDir)
html = urlpath.read().decode('utf-8')

soup = BeautifulSoup(html,"html.parser")
links = soup.find_all('a')

filelist = []

for tag in links:
    link = tag.get('href',None)
    if link is not None and link.find('.zip') != -1:
        #print link
        filelist.append(link)

print('%d files to dl...' % len(filelist) )

for i, filename in enumerate(filelist):
    remotefile = urlopen(webDir + filename)
    localfile = open(localDir + filename,'wb')
    localfile.write(remotefile.read())
    localfile.close()
    remotefile.close()
    print('%d/%d' % (i , len(filelist)))

print('done')
