Downloading Folders Using NetFile

In NetFile, download indicates transferring files from the remote system to which you have connected to your local system.

Using NetFile, you can download a entire folder with its files to the system you are using for remote access.

To Download a Folder

  1. Select the folder that you want to download from the Network Neighborhood pane.
  2. Click Download Folder.
  3. You are asked for confirmation to download the selected folder.

  4. Click OK. The Download folder to dialog is displayed.
  5. Type the absolute path to the folder into which you want to copy the selected folder, and click OK.

    To use the complete path of the share, check the box “Use complete path info”.

    To download into the folder name, do not check “Use complete path info”.

    For example, if the share added is "/", and the folder to be downloaded is "netfile" under /tmp/test/netfile and download location is "e:\", then:

    • If the checkbox is checked, the contents are downloaded into "e:\tmp\test\netfile"
    • If the checkbox is not checked, then the contents are downloaded into "e:\netfile".
    • The "Download folder to" dialog appears and displays the list of files in the folder being downloaded. When the download completes, the button title changes from Cancel to Close.

  6. Click Close to close the dialog.
  7. If you press Cancel during the download, the download folder operation is canceled.

  8. Click OK when the word (Downloaded) appears next to all the files.
