Download Options Window



This is a screen shot of the Download Options Window.

Click on an area of the graphic to view its associated help information.




This Window is displayed when an attempt is made to download a file from the Remote Host and a file of the same name already exists locally.

One of a variety of options may be selected, depending on the circumstances:

Overwrite.  Selecting this option causes the local file to be overwritten by the file being downloaded from the Remote Host.

Restore.  If a previous attempt to download a file has failed, after a partial transfer, then this option may be selected.  In this instance the transfer is restarted from where it finished previously.  Note that not all servers support the Restore option.

Skip.  Selecting this option will prevent the file from being downloaded.

If, during a download session, one option is required for all files, for example
Overwrite, then, rather than be prompted for each file, check the Remember This Response check box before choosing the option.  Doing this enables RS FTP to apply the same criteria to all files currently being downloaded.  If a new download is subsequently started then the Download Options Window will once again be displayed if a file name clash is detected.
