### 12.7.3. Downloading Server Files to the Repository

You can download selected files and folders from the server file system to the EKM repository.

Note:

- This feature is not available if you are working in a job-only view.

- If you have run a job in a Slave workspace, the files and folders that you choose to download will be downloaded to the repository on the Master EKM server. Slave workspaces do not have a repository. For more information see Running Jobs in a Slave Workspace.

1. On the Jobs > File System page, navigate to the location in which the desired files/folders reside.

2. Select the files and folders that you want to download. You can Shift+click to select multiple consecutive items, or CTRL+click to select multiple non-consecutive files.

3. On the toolbar, select (Download) > To EKM Repository.

   The Download to Repository dialog box appears:

4. Click Browse to select a destination folder for the downloaded files.

5. If the files/folders with the same name already exist in the target location, check the Overwrite existing files box. Otherwise, the files will not be transferred.

6. Click OK to download the items to the repository.

   A Message dialog box displays the status of the transfer. Once the transfer is complete, you can check the Edit properties of added file/folders box to edit the properties of the files/folders immediately. If you leave this option unchecked, you can edit properties later by selecting (Edit) > Properties.

   If files are being downloaded to a Master server from a Slave server (see Running Jobs in a Slave Workspace), a more detailed Transfer Progress dialog box will be displayed that shows the progress of the transfer, along with other pertinent details. For more information, see Monitoring Transfers from Slave Servers to a Master Server.

Note: If you have run a Fluent job, and are downloading .cas, .sum and .avz files to the repository from the server file system, you will only see the .cas file in the repository once the download is complete. For this type of download, EKM automatically associates the .sum and .avz files with the .cas file, and uses the data in those files to create the simulation details report and image for the .cas file.
