BackBlaze B2 Download Multiple files and folders at once
-
So a user has requested we pull down an older job folder, OK not a problem, we have it right here.. . . (well we do have it but, you can't download more than 5 files via the web interface).
Ok so how do you use the CLI to download multiple files and folders at once?
The documentation says to use this
b2 download-file-by-name [--noProgress] <bucketName> <fileName> <localFileName>But this appears to be for specific files, not entire folders. I could create a snapshot of the folder and then download that, but that seems to defeat the point.
Does anyone have any pointers?

GO into the web interface to get all the file names and then copy paste into a script to download them all.

@jaredbusch all is quite a large number (of files and subfolders for this one job) and they are buried in several subfolders as well.
I guess just making a snapshot of the folder will have to do. . .

Does the CLI support wildcards?

I would invite you to use a third-party tool such as Cyberduck, Forklift, or Transmit.
Alternately, you could use the B2 command line to sync from Backblaze to an empty directory on your machine:
b2 sync -
