Pretty file name

I’m using Nextcloud to provide files used by an application to update a database. I’d like the filenames to match the actual name. The url I use is https://mycloud.example.com/index.php/s/HEWYbwxLwisJbcL/download?files=61Z252.osm.gz

What the user sees is /download?files=61Z252.osm.gz. What is desired is just 61Z252.osm.gz

I have no control over the application. If I were using wget it would be easy to add -O 61Z252.osm.gz to solve the problem.

I think there was a feature request for that.

As a workaround, you could use a different hostname, where the query is automatically translated from https://dl.mycloud.example.com/6 https://mycloud.example.com/index.php/s/HEWYbwxLwisJbcL/download?files=61Z252.osm.gz1Z252.osm.gz. Not sure about the type of redirect that wget keeps the original filename.

You can use the app “Sharing Path”

https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/sharingpath

Example:

Unbenannt

In the path there is the user name. For public sharing perhaps use a functional and not personal user.

You must set a public share and then copy with right mouse key on the file in the GUI the sharing-path -link.
