Set up a connector of type Upload and download. Use this type to:

• Upload files: On the message, select the connector as source connector. On running the message, you can manually select and upload a file from a folder and import its contents.
• Download files: On the message, select the connector as target connector. On running the message, a file is created and downloaded to your local downloads folder.
