Transferring Files Between the Client and a Remote Desktop
With the le transfer feature, you can transfer (upload and download) les between the client and a remote
desktop. File transfer to or from applications is not supported.
The Horizon administrator can congure the ability to allow, disallow, or allow in one direction only, the
transfer of les by modifying the transfer group policy seing for the VMware Blast protocol.
The default is upload only. For more information, see “HTML Access Group Policy Seings,” on page 25.
You can download a le up to 500 MB in size, and upload a le up to 2 GB in size. For 32-bit Internet
Explorer 11, downloading a le larger than 300 MB might not work. To resolve the issue, run Internet
Explorer 11 in 64-bit mode.
You cannot download or upload folders, or les that have a size of zero.
Safari on iOS and Safari 8 do not support upload or download. Safari 9 does not support download.
If le transfer is in progress in a desktop session and the user opens a connection to a second desktop, and if
a security warning is displayed (this can happen if no valid certicate was installed, for example), ignoring
the warning and continuing to connect to the second desktop will cause the le transfer in the rst desktop
session to abort. This is expected behavior.
N The ability to download is aected by the group policy seing for clipboard redirection. If clipboard
redirection is disabled from the server to the client, then le download is also disabled.
Download Files from a Desktop to the Client
With Horizon Client you can download les from a remote desktop to the client machine.
Procedure
1 Click the le transfer icon at the top of the sidebar.
The Transfer Files window opens.
2 Click Download.
3 Select one or more les on the remote desktop.
4 Press Ctrl+c to start the download.
5 After the download is complete, click the download icon to save the les on the client machine.
