what is the password requested for?

Sure, so normally with site archive programs, they work like a web crawler, e.g. they visit every link on your site and try to download a copy of it. Ideally at the end, the program will have found and downloaded everything you’ve linked on your site (pages, images etc); its a public archive or an archive of things that are public.

This Neocities downloader works a little differently; it uses the Neocities API to login to your account and request a complete list of every file in your neocities storage, it then goes though that list and downloads each file, even ones you’ve never linked on your site; so it creates a private archive or an archive of things that were potentially never fully public.

That’s the reason it asks for your password ^^

As far as how it manages passwords; it sends the password directly from your computer to neocities via SSL (same as if you login using a browser). Passwords and file lists never pass though my server, and the program does not store or remember passwords (when you restart it your password will have been forgotten).

Hope that helps  :pc:

@sig yep that’s true too, limiting it to only download your own site also means it doesn’t break the neocities fair API use terms!

I just noticed today that this is linked on Neocities' Contact FAQ page as an alternative if the download site button isn't working! Very cool!!

you inspired me to make something similar too - as a little challenge for myself. i'm more of a minimalist terminal geek myself, so here's something you can run in a terminal if you prefer just bash!

This is nice! I really wish the neocities api included some kind of pull function. I use git to keep track of my site changes but it'd be useful to have access to both options haha. Especially since I don't usually use the browser editor; it's hard to know if there's extraneous files that I can get rid of.

Yessss  :cheerR: He emailed to ask if it was ok to put that link there a few weeks ago! Neocities also made a nice donation at the same time which will cover server costs here for a few months!

Thank you for your detailed yet easy to understand reply, Melon!! Now the Paranoid Beast can rest once more  :sleep:

Gonna use your downloader to make a copy of my website to edit from my oldest laptop!  :pc:  It still works surprisingly well for being +5 years old, but had to upgrade to another when I got into college... I'm derailing the topic, aren't I? Oops. But yeah I'm gonna get a copy for this laptop so I can keep working from here!  :ozwomp:
