I've been looking around for a long time how to get files from Basecamp and so far it seems like a 'mission impossible', but I wanted to ask here as well:

Is there any way to get files from Basecamp projects and, if there is one, how?

Thanks in advance.

Edited: I mean how to get the uploaded files. You can export all project data except the files you have uploaded there.

You can export everything from Basecamp using the following steps.

  1. Log in using Chrome.
  2. Copy Cookie header from a page document request in Chrome Developer tools.
  3. wget --mirror -e robots=no --reject logout --no-cookies 'http://your-subdomain.basecamphq.com' --header <pasted-cookie-header>
