How to copy file properties and directory structure of website without any contents.

[rupeshforu3]

Hi I am Rupesh from India. I have examined a website and it contains of 50000 mp3 files of which I want to download 11000 files and I have downloaded 8000 mp3 files and I want to download upto 3000 mp3 files from the same website and discard the remaining files.



I have downloaded the files from net using offline browser called extreme picture founder. In that application it has an option called skip if the destination file exists. I am going to re download the files and select the option skip if the destination file exists. The above application has also has options for scanning the website and spidering etc., of which all options I have understood.



Previously after downloading files using offline browser I have copied the files to another directory and the directory structure was lost but have files in another directories.



As I want to download 11000 files which is of size 135 gb but I have downloaded 93 gb. If I can obtain the directory structure of website and the files with filenames only without any data in it I can maintain the directory structure same as website I mean I can keep file names and directory names same as website.



At present I have installed Windows 10 on my laptop. Upon opening power shell ISE which is command prompt for Windows and issuing the command ls -r > filenames.txt I can obtain the list of filenames with directory names. Is there any command or tool to obtain just the filenames and directory names of directory in website and store the output in a text file.



So please suggest a way how to obtain list of directory names and also filenames containing in those directories and store content in text file. If possible can you please suggest how to maintain directory structure same as website and also filenames without any content.



Regards,

Rupesh.

Can you clarify how the directory structure has changed for the mp3s, i.e. what was it before and what is it now

Also, not sure how that program handles downloads, but can you start the download again and recreate the folder structure? Even just the first beginning bit should be enough to extrapolate off

Previously I have started the app and done settings to download files to e:/downloaded and it has downloaded files according to my settings ie., starting page, depth,can go up or down, follow links to other websites which I have selected no etc.,.

The directory structure was like e:/downloaded/folder1/folder2/folder3 and again folder1, folder2, folder3 contains many sub directories and files.

I have copied some of the directories from folder2 to f:/sorted and I have copied some of the files from folder1 to f:/sorted2. Like this I have moved all the files and folders from e:/downloaded to f: drive.

I think that in server they try to maintain only one directory structure.

Previously I have downloaded four sites which consists of only jpeg pictures upto 500000 and size upto 28 gb using various offline browsers like neo downloader, extreme picture finder, Aaron web vacuum etc.,. They have maintained same directory structure by selecting proper settings like maintain site structure etc.,.

I am guessing that website administrators maintain all the directory names and file names in a text file is it true.

Note that I have not made any modifications to mp3 files but simply moved to other directory of another drive.
