Can we record a script which can download files?

Question

Hi, I'm trying to record a script to download file at data collector. I'm using Dialog Manager to handle all the dialogs but it keep failing at the dialog which need to click on Save button. I've edit the Dialog Manager with action like [Save]{ENTER}/ {+S}/ {S} but error still occurred.
Although the script fails when playback but it can run successfully at Navigation Editor and retrieved the content of the file that I want to download. Besides that, the script also running well when uploaded into monitor. I'm wondering if the script can perform download action as when I check the data collector, there is no files downloaded at the selected location. Can someone help on this? Thanks alot.

Here is what worked for me:
Add a dialog with these settings:
Caption: FileDownload*
Text: *
Action: [Save]{click}
Add another dialog with these settings:
Caption: Save As
Text: Save &in:
Action: [Save]{click}
Let me know if this doesn't work for you. I am using IE 7.
If you run through Navigation Editor, the e-Load Agent will download the file and discard the contents. The result is that the file gets downloaded and stresses the web server but doesn't cause storage problems on the agent machine.
