A team mate published a workbench to server. I need to make a change to it, but when I went to download the fmw from server, it downloads a json file instead. I can log into the hosting server and copy the file from the repository, but can't figure out how to get the workbench to download from the server web page.
Don't know how to do it from FME Server web page but you can download the workspace from FME Workbench: File->Download from FME Server...
It's also possible to download the workspace file using the REST API, e.g.
GET http://host/fmerest/v3/repositories/Samples/items/austinDownload.fmw?accept=contents
See: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_REST/apidoc/v3/index.html#!/repositories/download_get_8
