Get file

You can get files from user computers. For example, you can configure getting an event log file created by a third-party application. To get the file, you must create a dedicated task. As a result of the execution of the task, the file is saved in Quarantine. You can download this file from Quarantine to your computer using Kaspersky Security Center Web Console. On the user's computer, the file remains in its original folder.

The file size must not exceed 100 MB.

To create the Get file task:

  1. In the main window of the Web Console, select Devices → Tasks.

    The list of tasks opens.

  2. Click Add.
  3. Configure the task settings:
    1. In the Application drop-down list, select Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes.
    2. In the Task type drop-down list, select Get file.
    3. In the Task name field, enter a brief description of the task and click Next.
  4. In the Task scope section, select managed devices and click Next.
  5. Enter the account credentials of the user whose rights you want to use to run the task. Click Next.

    By default, Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes starts the task as the system user account (SYSTEM).

  6. Finish the wizard by clicking the Finish button. A new task will be displayed in the list of tasks.
  7. Click the new task. The task properties window opens.
  8. Select the Application settings tab.
  9. In the list of files, click Add. The file adding wizard starts.
  10. To add the file, you must enter the full path to the file, or checksum with a folder path.

    If the file is located on a network drive, enter the file path starting with \\, and not the drive letter. For example, \\server\shared_folder\file.exe. If the file path contains a network drive letter, you can get a File not found error.

  11. In the task properties window, select the Schedule tab. Configure the task schedule.

    Wake-on-LAN is not available for this task. Make sure the computer is turned on to run the task.

  12. Click Save.
  13. Select the check box next to the task and click the Start button.

As a result, Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes creates a copy of the file and moves that copy to Quarantine. You can download this file from Quarantine using Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.
