Use File Manager's Download action to save a server file to your computer.
- Open File Manager.
- Navigate to the file.
- Select the file.
- Choose Download.
For multiple files or an entire directory, create a compressed archive first and download the archive. After verifying the local copy, remove temporary archive files from the hosting account if they are no longer needed so they do not consume unnecessary disk space.
Create archives containing configuration, database dumps, or private data outside every public document root. A backup filename or disabled directory listing does not prevent direct downloads of a publicly served archive.
