how can one specify a directory that websave saves files?

I want to specify a directory that websave saves files. I checked https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/websave.html. https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/581399-how-to-have-the-matlab-web-browser-automatically-save-a-downloaded-file-to-a-specified-directory-wit says to add the directory name to the file name. But I would hope to change the directory outside websave, Please advise.

Using full path names is the reliable and efficient solution:

Folder = 'C:\Your\Favorite\Folder';
File   = 'AsYouWant.html';
URL    = 'https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/1670074';
websave(fullfile(Folder, File), URL)
