Question

I am using jszip to create a zip file using javascript.And I want to zip a folder. I am using the following sample code to create zip file

var zip = new JSZip();
zip.file("Hello.txt", "Hello World\n");
var img = zip.folder("images");
img.file("smile.gif", imgData, {base64: true});
var content = zip.generate();
location.href="data:application/zip;base64,"+content;

Using the above code the download popup is coming. But I want to save that zip file in a particular location without browse. How I can implement that. Thanks in advance for answer

you want it in javascript , why tag JAVA ??

Just for the information, zip.generate() has been removed in jsZip 3.0

You can not save zip or any other file at particular position using javascript or other scripts without browser, it's security violation, so as per my knowledge you can not do that at list by javascript.

Thanks...but my requirement is - in my D:\ drive i have a folder contains two files. i need to zip that folder in the same D:\ location.. is that possible?

@madas : considering it true , as far as i know , that java script cant save files , you can make an ajax call to some server side action and do so , the zipping will be done in server side , but you initiate and control it from javascript ........... just a thought

@HussainAkhtarWahid right, but even you can not do so in server side, flow will be like you can upload that d drive file to server using ajax call server will zip it and return back to client so it will be downloaded to browser, server also can not access client's machine drive...
