I need to download many (like hundreds or thousands) of HDF files from an online database. What functions can I use so I can constuct a code that will allow me to download those files? I know theres webread and urlwrite but do those only work for HTML files?

Hello Shayma,
You could urlwrite function to download the files from an online database. The following steps can be followed to download the files:
1) Save of the URL of the file to be downloaded into a variable called 'url':
% NOTE: This URL has just been taken as an example to illustrate the
% process.
url = 'http://blizzard.mtukrc.org/~weather/KRCwthr050916.csv';
2) Use urlwrite to download the required file as follows:
urlwrite (url, 'KRCwthr050916.csv'); % 'KRCwthr050916.csv' is the output file name
Hope this helps!
