Opening or Launching a File in Network Explorer

You can open files or launch applications on the remote filesystem in Network Explorer.

1. In Network Explorer, navigate to the location of the file in the remote pane.
2. Double-click on the desired file to launch it with the proper application.

3. If activating a file on the remote machine, Network Explorer will first download the file to a temporary folder on your local machine and then open it. In the Launching dialog box, click Open to proceed.

   The progress of the download is displayed.

4. After the download completes, a message is displayed saying that you should save any changes to the file in an appropriate directory, as the file is opened in a temporary location. Click OK to proceed with opening or launching the file.
