### 12.7.4. Downloading Server Files to Your Computer

You can download files and folders from the server file system to your local computer using either the browser or the EKM File Transfer Client. The option you choose depends on whether you want to download single or multiple items, and the size of the transfer.

To download files/folders to your local computer:

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, click (Download), then select one of the following options:

   #### Using Browser

   To download a single file or folder that is relatively small in size, select Using Browser. This option is not available if you have multiple files or folders selected.

   The file or folder is downloaded to the default download location specified in your browser settings.

   #### Using File Transfer Client

   To download large or multiple files or folders, select Using File Transfer Client.

   The Download from EKM dialog box appears:

   Note: If your browser asks you if you want to open or save the LaunchFtc.jnlp application, specify that you want to open the JNLP file with the Java(TM) Web Start Launcher, and then check the Do this automatically for files like this from now on box.

   1. In the Download from EKM dialog box, click Browse and then select the target folder for the files/folders that you are downloading.

   2. To calculate the total size of the download, click Transfer Details. The Transfer Details dialog box appears and begins calculating the download size. This calculation takes some time to perform, but you can still interact with the Download From EKM dialog without affecting the ongoing calculation. You can even start the download. When the calculation is finished, the total size of the files to be downloaded is displayed in the Transfer Details dialog box:

   3. Click OK to download the items to your computer. You can monitor the progress of the transfer in the File Transfer Client.

      Note: Due to a limitation of the Java interface, tooltips are not automatically displayed on the buttons in the Actions column. To activate tooltips, simply click on any disabled button in the Actions column.

      When the transfer is complete, the Stage column will read Complete.

   4. Close the File Transfer Client.
