I’m creating a script to download a spreadsheet from a public website. The script to download the file was ok, but I can’t define the save location of the downloaded file, causing my csv file to always go to the default “downloads/” folder.

I tried some settings but without success. I’m currently trying this, could anyone suggest new alternatives?

fprof <- makeFirefoxProfile(list(browser.download.dir = "C:/Users/jlima/Desktop/arquivos",
                                 browser.download.folderList = 2L, 
                                 browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting=FALSE,
                                 browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk = "application/octet-stream"))

driver <- rsDriver(
  browser = "firefox",
  port = 2922L,
  chromever = NULL,
  extraCapabilities = fprof
)

remote_driver <- driver$client
