  2. The user has to login using LDAP ID/Password.
    (Keep me logged in can be checked to avoid entering credentials repeatedly)

  3. On the first run, after logging in, the user must go to the Preferences page to select the courses to be downloaded.

  4. Click "Save Settings" to save the settings for further use. These can be changed by visiting the Preferences page any time.

  5. The user has to click on the DLD Files button to download files of selected courses from Moodle. Auto-Download feature is also available.

The application creates two .txt files in the directory in which it is kept - Cred.txt and Preferences.txt.

These files are essential for the working of the application and must NOT be deleted! Deletion of above files will lead to loss in saved settings.

If a course has folders within it, MooDLD creates a new folder in the pre-set directory and downloads all the folder contents into this newly created folder, effectively, replicating the entire structure present on the website on your local system. Assignment handling has also been added so that the assignments which are uploaded are also downloaded.
