Many files on a remote web server may not behave normally when executed from the local file systems, such as .php
or .aspx
. WebCopy can handle this by changing the extensions of downloaded content to match their mime type. For example, .php
and .aspx
would be renamed to .html
.
By default, WebCopy will attempt to remap app files based on their content type, except files using the application/octet-stream
type, however the following options are available.
Option | Description |
---|---|
Never | No extension remapping is performed. This option is not recommended. |
Always | WebCopy will always try and remap extensions. |
Only if no extension present | URLs without an extension will be remaped, those with an extension will not be modified. |
Always, except for the specified exclusions | (Default) All URLs except those with a content type of application/octet-stream or with user defined extension or content type exclusions will be remapped. |
Click Select Types to display a dialogue box for selecting content types either from those detected in the site to be copied, or from a global database
png
into this field, or content types such as image/png
When the mode is Always, except for the specified exclusions, the application/octet-stream
exclusion is implicit and cannot be disabled.
When remapping extensions, WebCopy can keep the original extension. For example, if picture.php
had a content type of image/png
, the local filename would be picture.php.png
. To enable or disable this feature
