***Note from Migration:***

Original Title was: Ability to download data files stored in the 'workspace repository' form the GUI of FME Server


In the GUI of FME Server, when you go to 'Workspaces', and then select a repository, you get to see a table with all workspaces in that repository including some information about those workspaces. In particular there is also a column 'Files' that indicates if there are data files stored for that workspace inside of the repository (i.e. the files that can be uploaded to the repository of the workspace when publishing a workspace from FME Desktop to FME Server).


If you click on 'Files' in the FME Server GUI (in the row of the appropriate workspace), you get to the Workspaces > REPOSITORY_NAME > Files menu, and can see all files that are stored for that particular workspace (in the workspace repository).

However, it seems that there is no option to download these files from this menu in the GUI of FME Server (nor another menu in FME Server), as there is only the option to select the Files to remove them. I thought this is really weird and besides a Remove button, I would have definitely expected to also have a Download option (button) here...


There is still the option to download the files stored in the workspace repository when you download the FME Server workspace through FME Desktop (when you import there is the button to include data files if present).

However, as mentioned above I couldn't see a way to do it in the GUI of FME Server, and I would think it would be logical/preferred if this would also be possible from the 'Workspaces > REPOSITORY_NAME > Files' menu in the GUI of FME Server.


Curious to hear other people's thoughts on this. Would be great if this can be added in a future version of FME Server.


Kind regards,


Thijs


ps. we are currently using FME Server 2021.0.2 Build 21321 - win64
