File Download allows the EdgeMarc to download files from a central FTP server and store them locally. These files can then be served out by the local TFTP or HTTP servers.
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.
Before you Begin
To use file download, the file server RAMDISK must be enabled. Downloaded files cannot be stored on the local system or served out until the file server is enabled. Refer to Manage the File Server before you download files.
