if you mean from browser, you can't do that – Edwin Aug 04 '17 at 07:55

It should be possible, you can use file_get_contents function like [Here](https://stackoverflow.com/a/3938551/8412711) – gimperman Aug 04 '17 at 07:56

@gimperman this will save the files on the server – Edwin Aug 04 '17 at 07:58

If you mean another folder on client's machine (who is downloading the file) then no, you can't.
It would be a security issue if you (I mean your application, on server side) can choose a destination on client's machine as target for file downloads.

@Mudi if you want to save a file on a server, just rephrase your question and check other answers that already solved that – Edwin Aug 04 '17 at 08:02

Are you the one who is "sending the file" or the one who is "downloading" it? If your PHP code is sending the file to a client then you have no control over their choice for download destination. Please give me a little more details. – Nima Aug 04 '17 at 08:05

So you want to set a default download directory on the client side. You can only suggest to change the default download directory in the browser settings (firefox or chrome, i don't know for other browsers) for security reasons.
