Processing
The M-Files Download plugin starts by sending a login request to the M-Files Server. Once the
connection is established, it tries to download a copy of the specified file from the Vault that it is
connected to.
If the search for files results in multiple files being found, then only the first file is downloaded.
The downloaded file is not removed from the M-Files Server.
The plugin saves either the file name or the (JSON)response that it gets from the M-Files
Server in the specified variable.
Output
The output of this plugin is the downloaded file.
