download a folder from server to local host

I have a code to downolad a particular file that is stored at a particular location on the server...

for example i have a file untitled.bmp in the C: drive of my server and i download this to my localhost using the particular code...

  protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
         string filepath = (@"C:\untitled.bmp");



        // Create New instance of FileInfo class to get the properties of the file being downloaded
        FileInfo myfile = new FileInfo(filepath);

        // Checking if file exists
        if (myfile.Exists)
        {
            // Clear the content of the response
            Response.ClearContent();

            // Add the file name and attachment, which will force the open/cancel/save dialog box to show, to the header
            Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + myfile.Name);

            // Add the file size into the response header
            Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", myfile.Length.ToString());

            // Set the ContentType
            Response.ContentType = ReturnExtension(myfile.Extension.ToLower());

            // Write the file into the response (TransmitFile is for ASP.NET 2.0. In ASP.NET 1.1 you have to use WriteFile instead)
            Response.TransmitFile(myfile.FullName);

            // End the response
            Response.End();
        }
    }


    private string ReturnExtension(string fileExtension)
    {
        switch (fileExtension)

now my problem is how do i download a folder with multiple files in it.. is there a way???

for example i have a folder named recovery in C: drive which contains two files untitled.bmp and test.txt...

thanks...

I need to do this without zipping... please suggest a way...

For multiple files, you'll need to pack them together as, for instance, a ZIP file.

Downloading Multiple Files as a Zip File Using GridView and SharpZipLib

You could zip the files together (e.g. untitled.bmp and test.txt) and then download them as a single file.
