Download all assets in a single folder

$ curl -u user:password -o <output file name> http://localhost:4502/<asset path>.assetdownload.zip

Example:

$ curl -u user:password -o download_asset.zip http://localhost:4502/content/dam/we-retail/en/people.assetdownload.zip

$ curl -u user:password -o <output file name> -F "path=<path A>" -F "path=<path B>" -F ... http://localhost:4502/<path A>.assetdownload.zip

Example:

$ curl -u admin:admin -o download_asset.zip -F "path=/content/dam/we-retail/en/people" -F "path=/content/dam/we-retail/en/experiences" -F "path=/content/dam/we-retail/en/features/tracking.png" http://localhost:4502/content/dam/we-retail/en/people.assetdownload.zip

Specify < path A> .assetdownload.zip for the path part of the URL.

Downloading a large number of assets at once may cause performance problems. Adjust the number of assets monitoring the server load.
