-----------------------------------

How are you testing in the browser? `cordova run browser` or something else?

>                 Key: CB-12878
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12878
>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: cordova-plugin-file
>    Affects Versions: 6.5.0
>            Reporter: Guilherme Dellagustin
>            Priority: Minor

> I'm using the file pluging togheter with the file transfer.
> cordova.file.dataDirectory contains 'filesystem:file:///persistent/' and this does not look to be correct.
> The download will fail here, but seems to be failing in the file plugin.
> {code:javascript}
> var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
> fileTransfer.download(
> 	encodeURI('source url'),
> 	targetUrl, // cordova.file.dataDirectory + 'file.txt'
> 	function(entry) {
> 		// success
> 	},
> 	function(error) {
> 		$log.log("Download error source " + error.source);
> 		$log.log("Download error target " + error.target);
> 		$log.log("Download error code" + error.code);
> 	},
> 	false
> );{code}
> I solved this by doing something like:
> {code:javascript}
> if($cordovaDevice.getPlatform() !== 'browser') {
> 	targetUrl = cordova.file.externalDataDirectory + 'media/' + filename;
> }
> else {
> 	// removed the media folder so that I do not have to create a directory, as it is not automatically created on the browser platform
> 	targetUrl = 'filesystem:'+ window.location.origin + '/persistent/' + filename;
> }
> {code}
> Remark: for some reson, this works for 127.0.0.1, but not for localhost.
