Creating a file download task

To create a file download task:

1. Select the Tasks section in the program web interface window.

   The tasks table opens.

2. Click the Add button and select Get file.

   The task creation window opens.

3. Specify the following parameters:
   1. File path—Path to the file that you want to receive.

      You can also specify the path to an alternate data stream of this file. In this case, you will receive only the specified stream.

      Data streams of the NTFS file system (alternate data streams) are intended for additional attributes or information on a file.

      Each file in the NTFS file system consists of a set of streams. One of them contains the file contents that we will be able to see by opening the file. The other (alternate) ones are intended for metadata and to ensure, for example, compatibility between the NTFS system and other systems, such as the old Macintosh file system known as Hierarchical File System (HFS). Streams can be created, deleted, individually saved, renamed, and can even be run as a process.

      Alternate streams can be used by hackers for concealed transmission or receipt of data from a computer.

   2. MD5/SHA256—MD5- or SHA256 hash of the file that you want to receive. This field is optional.

      If this parameter is defined, more than one file may be received.

   3. If you do not want to scan the file, clear the Send for scanning check box.

      The check box is selected by default.

   4. Description—Task description. This field is optional.
   5. Host—Host name or IP address of the server from which you want to receive the file.
4. Click the Add button.

The file download task will be created. A file received through this task will be placed in Backup.

If the file download task completed successfully, you can download the received file to your local computer.

To download the received file to the local computer:

1. Select the Tasks section in the program web interface window.

   The tasks table opens.

2. Open the task for receiving the file that you want to download.
3. In the lower part of the Get file window, click the host name or IP address.

   This opens a window containing information about the file.

4. Click the Download button.

The file will be saved to your local computer in the browser's downloads folder.
