Hi Hans

It is only possible from the backend.

Here is some code that you can use that utilizes Dynamicweb.Content.Files namespace (9.5+).

Be aware that this is a security issue if expose this in the frontend for users not logged in. Be careful!

Sub DoDownload()
        If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(_folder) Then
            _file = _folder.Substring(_folder.LastIndexOf("/") + 1) + ".zip"
            _folder = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(_folder)
            Dim fi As New IO.FileInfo($"{_folder}\{IO.Path.GetRandomFileName()}")
            For i As Integer = 0 To 10
                If fi.Exists Then
                    fi = New IO.FileInfo($"{_folder}\{IO.Path.GetRandomFileName()}")
                Else
                    Exit For
                End If
            Next

            Try
                ZipFile.ZipFolder(New IO.DirectoryInfo(_folder), fi)
                Response.Clear()
                Response.ContentType = "text/html"
                Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", $"attachment; filename=""{_file}""")
                Response.TransmitFile(fi.FullName)
                Response.Flush()
            Finally
                fi.Delete()
            End Try

            Response.Close()
        End If
    End Sub
