\# Download a file Using the terminal, learn how to download a file via \[SFTP Console\](https://www.mercadopago.com.uy/developers/es/docs/links-and-debts/integration-configuration/download#bookmark\_consola\_sftp) and \[SFTP batch scripting\](https://www.mercadopago.com.uy/developers/es/docs/links-and-debts/integration-configuration/download#bookmark\_sftp\_batch\_scripting). The SFTP Console is suitable for manual use but not for automation. For automation, use SFTP batch scripting, which requires the creation of a script where each line represents an SFTP command. ## SFTP console Using the code below as an example, follow the steps to download a file using the SFTP console. \`\`\`terminal UY0FVFGW103Q05P:\~ user$ cd $HOME/demo UY0FVFGW103Q05P:\~ user$ ls UY0FVFGW103Q05P:\~ user$ sftp pg\_sap@sftp-qa.mercadolibre.io Connected to sftp-mercadolibre.io. sftp> ls selfserviceinput selfserviceoutput sftp> cd selfserviceoutput sftp> ls report\_589\_216\_20230804.zip result\_589\_6\_20230804.zip sftp> get result\_589\_216\_20230804.zip Fetching /selfserviceoutput/result\_589\_6\_20230804.zip to result\_589\_6\_20230804.zip /selfserviceoutput/result\_589\_6\_20230804.zip /Users/user/debt\_589\_6\_20230804.zip sftp> bye UY0FVFGW103Q05P:\~ demo user$ ls report\_589\_216\_20230804.zip result\_589\_6\_20230804.zip \`\`\` 1\. Navigate to the folder where you want to download the file using the command "cd $HOME/${downloadfolder}", where “downloadfolder” corresponds to the folder name. In the first line of the code, you can see an example of how to do this. 2\. Log in to the SFTP, which will open the SFTP console, as shown in line 3\. In this example, the default name and directory are used when generating the \`ssh-rsa\` key. Otherwise, the \`-i\` parameter should be used. 3\. Navigate to the "selfserviceoutput" folder, as indicated in line 7 of the code. 4\. List the contents with the ls command, as shown in line 8 of the code (optional, just to verify which file to download). 5\. Fetch the result file from the SFTP using the \`get ${resultfile}\` command, as indicated in line 10\. 6\. Exit the SFTP console, as shown in line 13 of the code. 7\. List the "$HOME/${downloadfolder}" directory to verify that the files have been downloaded, as indicated in line 14 of the code. ## SFTP batch scripting Similarly, to download a file via SFTP batch scripting, create a file \`download\_sftp\_script\` in "$HOME/demo" with the following content: \`\`\`terminal cd selfserviceinitiativeout get result\_589\_6\_20230804.csv bye \`\`\` 1\. Navigate to the folder from which you want to download the file using the command \`cd selfserviceinitiativeout\`. 2\. Fetch the result file from the SFTP using the \`get ${resultfile}\` command, as indicated in line 2\. This is the result of the batch execution: \`\`\`terminal UY0FVFGW103Q05P: demo user$ sftp -b download\_sftp\_script pg\_sap@sftp-qa.mercadolibre.io sftp> cd selfserviceoutput sftp> get result\_589\_6\_20230804.zip sftp> get report\_589\_216\_20230804.zip sftp> bye UY0FVFGW103Q05P:demo user$ ls report\_589\_216\_20230804.zip result\_589\_6\_20230804.zip \`\`\`
