The File Download feature works in conjunction with the File Server feature. The files requested for download cannot be stored locally until the File Server feature creates a RAMDISK. Refer to Configuring File Server Settings.
File Download logs into the FTP server as the “anonymous” user when using FTP. File Download assumes the files reside in the /pub directory of the FTP server.
When serving files using HTTP, only the files listed on the File Download page can be served out by the HTTP server. Files pushed to the local system RAMDISK by an external management system are unavailable for HTTP download.
