Downloading Files with the File Manager

Users can download any file listed in the right pane of the File Manager. The files are downloaded to the client-side computer from either the SessionID (UserName) or Common path on the server.

The actual server path is never displayed in the virtual file directory.

  1. From the right pane of the File Manager, select the file you want to download.
    The Download File link appears near the bottom right corner of the File Manager, just above the Upload File link.
  2. Click Download File.
    The File Download dialog box lists the file name and file type and the name of the server from which the file can be downloaded. It prompts you to save the file or cancel the download. (On some operating systems, the File Download dialog box can also include Open and More Info buttons.)
  3. Click Save.
  4. In the Save As dialog box, browse to the path on the local computer where you want to save the file, and click Save.
    The Download Complete dialog box appears. Its appearance depends on the client operating system. It typically prompts the user to open the downloaded file, open the folder where the file was saved, or close the dialog box.
  5. Click Close to close the Download Complete dialog box and return to the File Manager.
