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 congure the ability to allow, disallow, or allow in one direction only, the
transfer of les by modifying the   transfer group policy seing for the VMware Blast protocol.
The default is upload only. If the Disabled both upload and download value is selected in the 
 transfer group policy seing for the VMware Blast protocol, the File Transfer buon is disabled. If
Enabled  upload only value is selected, only the Upload tab is displayed in the Transfer Files dialog
window. If Enabled  download only value is selected, only the Download tab is displayed in the
Transfer Files dialog window. For more information, see “HTML Access Group Policy Seings,” on page 26.
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 or later do 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 certicate 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 aected by the group policy seing for clipboard redirection. If clipboard
redirection is disabled from the server to the client, then le download is also disabled.
