Hi Team,

One of my project requirement is to download Excel report from remote system and save it in Local machine.

Using Computer vision i can able to connect Remote Machine and interacted with Target application.Once i have clicked the download button CSV file has opened,i need to save this file in local machine.(Note:We cannot have the option to save the CSV file in remote system.Once i click the download button it automatically opens CSV file)

Which activity i need to use for this…Anyone help me in this topic…

In the Remote Desktop machine, can you configure your browser settings if you are downloading from a website to ask when downloaded instead of default settings

Hope this may help you

Thanks,

Try sending ctrl+s to the remote desktop and see if it opens a save window…then can type from there…first save to remote then move to network and take it

Cheers

Hi @shyamala_shyamu ,
Thanks for reaching out to UiPath community.
Here are some steps you should go through to make sure everything is set clear.

  • Drag and drop the ‘Download File’ activity from the Activities panel to your UiPath workflow.
  • In the ‘Download File’ activity properties, set the following:
    URL: Set this to the URL of the CSV file that you want to download. You can use a variable or expression to dynamically set the URL.
    Destination: Set this to the local directory where you want to save the CSV file. You can use a variable or expression to dynamically set the destination directory.
    Timeout (ms): Set this to the maximum amount of time in milliseconds that you want to allow for the download to complete.
  • Connect the ‘Download File’ activity to the previous activity that clicks the download button.
  • Run your workflow to execute the ‘Download File’ activity and save the CSV file to your local machine.

Hopethis will clear your problem. Please mark this as a solution if you find this helpful.

Generally we will create a network folder from local to remote desktop and place the file from rdp or save int hat location so that it can be accessed from local

Hope this helps
