You can download selected items or directories in various file and compression formats.
- Choose the format of the item(s) you are downloading in the "Mode" drop-down menu. Choose between Ascii, Binary and Auto:
- Ascii format should be used for files that use plain text with no formatting
- Binary should be used for all other types of files
- Auto will automatically determine which format to use; you will usually not need to specify either Ascii or binary
- If you wish to download the item(s) in a compressed format, select the desired compression format (which should be indicated by the file extensions) from the "Compressed type" drop-down menu. Choose from None, .tar, .tar.gz and .zip. Note: if you are downloading multiple items, you will have to select a compression type.
- Click the 'Download' button to download your selected file(s).
