Using Firefox 57.0 (64bit) for Ubuntu is it possible to download from a link to any other folder or device on my network as the download target?

I can use the download function in Firefox 57.0 (64 bit) for Ubuntu to download to any folder I choose on the machine that Firefox is on. I cannot ask Firefox to save a download to a folder or device elsewhere on my network. It cannot see the network. Is this right? It seems strange.

Under the menu select preferences. On preferences page select general and scroll down the page. You find files and applications under which you have the option to change "save files to " location for the downloads.

Correct. Seems strange to me, but that's what I have read - saves to local fixed drive only, not to removable media or a network connected device.

Yes sharique_11. I know this. I don't think you have read my question. If you did read read it then you didn't understand it. I can follow your instructions exactly but the "Save files to..." option does NOT allow me (or anyone else apparently) to save to any drive or device on the network. They are NOT visible. Firefox will only save to the PC where it is installed. It can't see my network. It can't see your network. In this respect it is very limited. Why have designers done this? I haven't got a clue.

I am baffled. Why, in the name of all that is good and decent, have the designers limited Firefox in this way? Is this supposed to improve security? Or couldn't they figure out how to do it?
