There are files in LittleFS that I want to download via the webbrowser download dialog. I managed to get this to work, however the browser download dialog does not give me a choice where to download to. It just downloads it to the default download directory.

I use Espasyncwebserver.

I'd like the browser to open the dialog 'download to...?'. How can I accomplish that?

Thanks

Assumption is the mother of all f*ckups. At least: that's what I'm assuming.
