Getting Files

Locate the file you wish to download by using the Remote Browser as previously described.  You may choose a destination for the download by using the Local Browser on the left side of the window in a similar manner.

To begin a download, select the remote file, then click the "Get" button.  Alternatively, you may double click on a remote file to begin downloading it.

The file will be written into the directory displayed or selected in the Local Browser.  You must have read permission for the remote file and write permission for the local destination, otherwise you will receive an Authorization error.

The file will be saved with a name ending in ".TMP" during the download.  On Windows systems, a ".CHK" companion file will also be created.  If the download is interrupted, do not rename these files as doing so may prevent the download from being resumed.  The correct filename will be assigned when the download completes successfully.

When you begin a Get operation, the local directory will be searched for files or partial downloads with the same name.  If a useable partial download is found, you may choose to Resume it or delete the existing file immediately.  If a conflicting file that can't be resumed is found, you will be asked if you want to delete the old file.

Once a file has been successfully downloaded, MTPexpedat will attempt to set the modification date, access rights, ownership, and group id of the downloaded file to match those of the remote file.  Whether or not this is successful will depend on the server version, operating systems, and MTPexpedat's own access rights.
