For example, yi hack: https://github.com/fritz-smh/yi-hack Everything can be done on browser, much more convenient.

I looked into that (http download) but couldn't find anything simple.

You can click on the ftp://192.168.1.2 link and get a list of files and the directories, but when you click to download, it also says "network error". I pursued that, and found that Chrome browser does not use the ftp RETR command, but the strange LIST -l command to download files. I hacked that into the ftp code, but then I saw a thing that Chrome was abandoning ftp for security reasons. And other browsers seem to use other sequences of ftp commands for downloading.

So I gave up. A quick download of Filezilla ftp, and you can see a list, and download and delete all the little (or big) videos. It seems little a practical solution for me. And you don't have to right-click and save each file.

This guy seems to have some the code to do it, if anyone wants to pursue that. It seems simpler than I remember when I looked at it the first time.
