There is no "Download File" link.

Show File
Delete File
Edit File
Change Permissions
Rename File
Copy File
Move File

Use a FTP client to download.

Click 'Show File', and then save it. I think it's the only way.

When you click on the file it will list the options but also include a direct link to file. Just right click - 'save as' on the link to save the file.

This is fine for single files but not ok for copying whole folders though. You will need an ftp client for that. I use FileZilla - its easy to use, opensource and best of all free.

I do not see any "Save as" link. There is "Save link as" which saves a file with the link, not the content of the file. I tried it in FireFox.

Same diff.

I took the time to try it before recommending it to make sure it worked in file manager and it worked fine for me. That is the standard right click save-as form of downloading that I have been using for the last however many years I have been surfing the net.

Filezilla is free.
