Example of file transfer over RDP
When you perform RDP-based O&M operations, you must use CloudDisk to transfer files. For example, an uploaded file is stored in CloudDisk. In this case, you must download the file from CloudDisk to your host. If you want to download a file, upload the file from your host to CloudDisk and then download it to your on-premises computer. Download procedure:
1. Upload a file to CloudDisk.
2. Click the icon in the File Transfer panel.
3. Select the uploaded file and click the icon.
