To save file in specific folder in angular.js

Question

if (exportdata != null) {
  var blob = new Blob([s2ab(exportdata.filedata)], {
    type: "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet"
  });
  //saveAs provided by FileSaver.js
  saveAs(blob, exportdata.filename);
  framework.displayAlert('ERRORS.SUCCESS', 'Data downloaded successfully');
} else {
  framework.displayAlert('ERRORS.ERROR', data.error);
}


function s2ab(s) {
  var buf = new ArrayBuffer(s.length);
  var view = new Uint8Array(buf);
  for (var i = 0; i != s.length; ++i) view[i] = s.charCodeAt(i) & 0xFF;
  return buf;
}

In saveAs() I have given the file type and filename. It will save with the given file name in the downloads folder. But I want to save it in D://Reports/sample/ this path. Is there any options to achieve this?

I also want to send that file to ftp server location

This cannot be done. The browsers for obvious security reasons doesn't allow files to be saved to specific locations only by the user (by right click -> save as) it won't allow you to set the destination folder.

Otherwise imagine that any site would be able to save files where ever it wants on your computer.

If you need to save Blobs to specific locations you will have to do it on the server side. Upload the Blob to your server and then you'll be able to save it where ever you want to.

I accept this. Once I export file, for eg, it will save in downloads folder. Is this possible to move that file to another path

Not through the browser. You will either have to run a filesystem watcher on the downloads directory or do as I suggested and just upload it to your server and the save it where you like

How do I upload blob to my server?

@Raghul it depends on which type of serverside you use. Just notice that you'll be able to save it on the server / ftp or anywhere else but not in the end users computer. Anyway I recommend for you to look for how to upload files/blobs on google. There are tons of examples
