Configuring File Download

Scenarios

You can configure file download parameters for operation sessions in your bastion host system to improve system performance and simplify operation process. Currently, you can configure:

• File Size. For HTML5 operations, a compressed package is generated on the system data disk for file download tasks. If the downloaded file is too large, the system data disk usage will become high, which may affect system performance. If you configure a file size limit for download tasks, any file exceeding this limit cannot be downloaded from your bastion host.
• Download File Directly. If this function is enabled, individual files can be downloaded directly to your local PC without task center compression. This setting is located on the File Transfer tab within the HTML5 operation session window. If this function is disabled, files will first be downloaded and compressed in the task center. You will not be able to download the compressed files from the task center to your local PC until the download is complete.

Prerequisites

The role you belong to has the management permission for the System module. For details about how to check the permissions of each role, see Role.

   Parameter	Description
   File Size	After the configuration, files that exceed the limit cannot be downloaded from the bastion host. The default value is 4. Value range: 1 to 1,024, in GB.
   Download File Directly	If this function is enabled, individual files can be downloaded directly to the local PC without task center compression. This setting is located on the File Transfer tab within the HTML5 operation session window. If this function is enabled, you also need to configure Maximum File Size For Direct Download. The default value is 10. Value range: 1 to 1,024, in MB. If the size of a single file to be downloaded is smaller than this value, the file is directly downloaded to your local PC without being compressed by the task center. If the size of a single file to be downloaded is greater than or equal to this value, or if you download files or folders in batches, they will be compressed in the task center. After the download is complete, you need to download the compressed file from the task center to your local PC. If this function is disabled, all download tasks will be compressed in the task center. After the download is complete, you need to download the compressed file from the task center to your local PC.
