In Packages view, you can download package files one at a time or you can download several files concurrently. There are two ways of downloading files:
§ Enhanced (recommended) – Use this method to enable recovery of interrupted downloads, managed download and data verification.
§ Standard – Use this method if your operating mode is “Lite” (i.e. no Attunity MFT active components - Java Applet or ActiveX - are installed on your computer). Files will be downloaded using standard HTTP/S protocol.
Both of these methods are described in detail below.
To download package files:
1. Switch to Packages view (the default) by clicking the View toolbar button and selecting Packages.
2. In the Subject column of your Inbox folder, click the subject of the package.
The Package Details window opens displaying the Package tab.
You can see more detailed information about the package by clicking the More button at the bottom left of the tab. For an explanation of the details, see A. Package Properties.
3. In the Files list, select the files that you want to download.
If you pause a download and then click Cancel or if the Package Details window/browser is closed while a download is in progress, the download becomes recoverable. Downloads that are suddenly interrupted due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g. power failure) are also recoverable. You can resume the download at a later date as described in 6. Resuming Incomplete Transfers. This is especially useful, for example, if you are downloading a large file and network problems interrupt the download or if you need to perform an urgent task that requires you to close the browser before the download has completed.
To download files:
1. Select the check boxes next to the files that you want to download.
2. To replace files existing files with the same name, select the Replace existing files check box.
3. To verify that the file(s) transferred from the source machine are identical to the files that arrive at the target machine, select the Verify files check box.
Note: If a mismatch is detected, the transfer will only be aborted if the Abort on file transfer error check box is also selected.
4. To abort the download if one of the files cannot be downloaded, select the Abort on file transfer error check box.
Note: If you do not select this check box, the download will continue even if some of the files cannot be downloaded.
5. Click Download.
The Browse for Folder (ActiveX) or Select directory (Java) dialog box opens.
6. Select the folder in which you want the files to be saved and then click OK (ActiveX) or Select (Java) to start the download.
The Transfer Progress window opens.
The Transfer Progress window opens when you download a package using the enhanced download option.
