Hi,

I have a NAS locally serving various content, including movies and TV shows. For a TV show, it’s nice to be able to download a whole folder.

I expose rsync, HTTP, NFS, and FTP. FTP works well for whole folder download, but if someone has an Android phone, they have to find some app for it. I think Android only does NFS through an app, but I may be mistaken.

It seems like there’s no good “standard” for folder download. There have been some options. zsync being one of them. But I don’t know if anything has stuck.

It would be nice to offer an easy way to browse files and copy a whole bunch of them in a way that’s trivial for most users.

Is that CIFS? Or FTP? Or is there some easy way to pair HTTP and rsync to make it easy to download folders? (maybe rsync-style links in the dir listing?)

Maybe .zip on the fly?

Just haven’t found anything obvious.

Thank you!
