How to specify download location when open the full file download URL via chrome using Javascript

Question

I'm thinking about how to specify download location using javascript. I got serveral the full file download URLs and use window.open(url, '_blank'); to start download them. However, all these files will be downloaded to the Chrome default path. How do I do to let them download to different folders?

Answer 1

This is currently not possible.

JavaScript doesn't have a file handling support unlike most languages.

This is due to security reasons and how quickly JavaScript was built in a short time with a lot of restrictions from Netscape.
