    So hypothetically, if I see a WordPress site and I have a good idea of the storage path, can I "look" at the content that's there besides what I have the actual download address for?

    For example, if the site was...

    http://www.fakesite.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/fakedocument.pdf

    Can I gain access to the other stuff that's within the uploads, similar to how we can rip a video from a LMS?

    I've wondered that myself...If the content is hosted on the same site it could be possible

    A site hoarding software can download them all if the admin didn't protect them from anonymous acceses
