Maybe a silly question, but does anyone know how I might manually pull all of the Media Downloads/Literature content from BC? Is there a specific place they are stored if I have FTP access?
Hi @bridge3196. No such thing as silly questions here Happy to help.
BC doesnât store them anywhere thatâs easily accessible. You need to use the APIâs or the module_data methods.
The Treepl Migration App moves all your Media Downloads over into a Custom Module and works great.

Alternatively, to do it manually using module_data, this forum post might help:
BC Media Downloads Exporter
Hi @bridge3196
As @Adam.Wilson mentions - the Migration App will do this perfectly, but if you for some reason need to do it âmanuallyâ here is a way to do it with module_data, as Adam also mentioned
Do a module Data call and get all the urls like so:
{module_data resource=âmediadownloadsâ version=âv3â fields=âname,downloadUrlâ skip=â0â limit=â500â order=âidâ collection=âmediaDownloadsâ}
{% for i in mediaDownloads.items -%}
{{i.name}} â {{i.downloadUrl}}
{% endfor -%}
Then you have a list of the files, and you can do whatever you want. Before this was possible with the Migration App i would just use this list to download all of them, but with the awesome work from Treepl it is now much easier
Just adding a note here for anyone finding this post and needing to get Media Downloads out of BC. Another option now is the âAdvanced BC Exportâ option in the BC to Treepl migration app which now extracts media download items.
