download_to_directory(directory, url, basename=None, if_exists='skip', subdir=None)

Download a file to a directory.

Early Shortcut: If url is a local file and that file is already in the directory, keep it there.

• directory (string) – Directory to download files to

• basename (string, None) – basename part of the filename on disk.

• url (string) – URL to download from

• if_exists (string, "skip") – What to do if target file already exists. One of skip (default), overwrite or raise

• subdir (string, None) – Subdirectory to create within the directory. Think fileGrp.
