Downloading Files and Folders
You can download a file or all files in a folder from ActiveTransfer Server to your computer using the web client.
To download a file or folder
1. In the web client, right-click the file or folder you want to download.
2. From the pop-up menu, select one of the following options:
Select this option... | To... |
Download | Download the file or folder without compression. Choose this option for small to medium sized files. |
ZipDownload | Compress the file or folder in a zip archive before downloading it. Choose this option for large files or when retrieving an entire folder at one time to save on bandwidth. |
Advanced Download | Download the file or folder using acceleration. Choose this option to speed up file downloads. You may want to choose this option when downloading extremely large files or when downloading many files at once in a folder. Note: Google Chrome versions 42 and later do not display the Advanced Download option. |
3. If you selected Download or ZipDownload, you are prompted as to how to process the download. The exact mechanism will vary depending on your browser. In most cases, you can open the file, or you can save the file or folder to your local file system and open it from there. You can rename the file before saving it.
4. If you selected Advanced Download, do the following:
a. If this is the first time you are using this option, you may be prompted to confirm that you want to run the application. Choose to run it.
The Files in Basket window opens, and a file system window opens.
b. In the file system window, specify where to save the file or folder on your local file system.
The file is downloaded and the file system window closes. The Files in Basket window shows the file download information.
