Hello, is there a way I can find the images that the Wordpress site has uploaded so far, that is, in the "Media Library"?

Previously, I tried to view all the images by trying the following addresses, but I could not;

example.com/wp-content/
example.com/wp-content/uploads
example.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/

I tried to reach all the uploaded images by trying these links, but I could not reach a positive result. When I enter these links, I get a "403 Forbidden" error.

However, I am able to view a few images whose image path I have completely found. For example;
example.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/helloworld.webp

So you uplaoded the images via Wordperss post editor or some other way.On Media Library page you shoould be able to see those images?

Reason that you get 404 is most probably because the images folder or images themslves cant be accesed outside the domain (which is known as hot-linking protection).

There can be other reasons why you cant access images, for example, some images plugin with ability to change your uploads fodler path.

you cannot. if it was that easy, than everyone would just download the whole media folder of other sites and starting abusing the process.
 
Try a website downloader like "HTTrack Website Copier"
 
You can't simply do that,
Your best bet would be to scrape image URLs by going through the website links,
That should get you the most publicly shared ones
 
Most websites will disable directory browsing so you'll need to know the actual urls. One possible way is through the sitemap - depending on how well (or poorly) the dev has this set up you might be able to scrape the image urls from it. But don't count on it.
 
Media files are stored in different folders inside the WP-content and you cannot find all the images in a single folder.
 
Is this your site or someone's else site?

If this is someone's else then you can't access the media library or the wp-content folder. That's what the "403 Forbidden" means.
