Downloading Forum Attachments (Images)

[mcsee]

SMF 2.0.15


I'm looking for an easy way to download a copy of all the images posted as attachments in my forum (Admin/Forum/Browse Files). I have too many to Save Image As for each, so ask is there an easy way to do it that I can't see.

TIA.

Use any FTP client, like FileZilla.

Even faster: cPanel > File Manager > Open forum root directory > Compress attachments folder to gzip > Download > Extract on desktop > Sorted.

Yes, but you don't have file names or extensions, etc.

This thread describes a technique for downloading all attachments and renaming them back to the original file names:

Handy. That should be stickied, or given a topic in Tip and Tricks.
