I am using the following software: VMWare VSphere Web Client and Microsoft Internet Explorer. I am also selecting the Flash version of the Web Client, not the HTML5 version I wish to copy (actually download from the datastore) a set of files from a VM’s datastore to an external USB drive. I navigate to the screen that lists the individual files in the datastore. When I highlight more than one file, the download button greys out (is disabled). If I select more than one file and right click, the context menu reports that there are no functions available. When I select just one file and right click the file, I get a menu with numerous actions available and all of the action buttons are active and available. I have also tried this on Mozilla Firefox and Chrome with the same results.
I don’t want to download each individual file. I would like to be able to select the files and issue the download command.
