Access my webpage and download files from Python

[Pedroski55]

I have a godaddy webpage. I don't use it much. Mainly just for trying things out.

I have managed enough PHP to get files uploaded to my webhost from a webpage. The user just clicks a button to select a file, then clicks the upload button

The PHP to validate the files, pack them in an email and send them seems quite complex. Too much for me! I need to install PHPMailer or Pear on the server and do all kinds of complicated stuff it seems. Python to the rescue!

I found I can get a file simply like this:

import requests 
file_url = "http://www.mywebpage.com/php/uploads/chineseYearAnimals.txt"
  
# URL of the files to be downloaded is defined as file_url 

r = requests.get(file_url) # create HTTP response object 
  
# send a HTTP request to the server and save 
# the HTTP response in a response object called r 
with open("/home/pedro/Downloads/download1.txt",'wb') as f: 
  
    # Saving received content as a file in 
    # binary format 
  
    # write the contents of the response (r.content) 
    # to a new file in binary mode. 
    f.write(r.content)
    f.close()

Could you please help me modify this?

I want to

1. download all files in the path,
2. save them under whatever name they already have,
3. then delete them on the web server.

On my laptop, when I want to do something with all files in a directory, I use:

files = os.listdir(path)

and then:

for file in files:
do tricky stuff

I need the web version of that.
