Goal: Create a button on my html page that downloads a csv and saves it to a specific folder location. (I know this can be done in browser settings, but I am looking to be able to hard code this somehow into my web page.)

Currently, I am using the datatables plug-in to display and filter data on my html page queried from my MySQL database.

Ultimately I want to be able to skip the "Save As" window that pops up after pressing the download button and have the csv file go directly to the specified folder.

    Luckily this is not possible. It would be a huge security threat if it was. – Shadow Oct 01 '19 at 19:20

  • So even if I am working on an isolated machine not connected to anything and am not worried about the security threat, there would not be a way to bypass this? – 182i38r Oct 11 '19 at 16:56
  • There isn't. The browser cannot tell that you are in a compketely isolated environment. Even tge possibility to override this behaviour would be a huge security risk. Simply forget this idea. – Shadow Oct 11 '19 at 20:28
