Copy/Paste an Archive of Files from remote to local

  1. Make a zip file
    • e.g., select Desktop\XXX folder, right-click, and create file.zip
  2. Encode the zip file to a base64 text file
    • from cmd.com, type: certutil -encode file.zip myEncodedFile.txt
  3. Copy the base64 text from myEncodedFile.txt to the clipboard
  4. Paste the base64 text in a new myEncodedFile.txt on your own PC
  5. decode the textfile file back to a zip file
    • Windows from cmd.com, type: certutil -decode myEncodedFile.txt file.zip
    • MacOS from terminal, type: cat myEncodedFile.txt | base64 -d -o file.zip
  6. Decompress file.zip back to the original folder you wanted from the lab PC

    Copy/Paste not working, try this:

    • Check clipboard permission in the browser:
      • In Chrome or Edge, open the remote lab page.
      • Click the padlock icon 🔒 next to the URL → Site settings.
      • Scroll to Clipboard and set it to Allow.
      • Refresh the page and re-launch the console.
    • Clear old permissions:
      • Go to the browser settings → Privacy and Security → Site Settings → View permissions and data stored across sites, then remove the entry for the lab URL and reload it.

    Files are to BIG?

    1. split the file into smaller pieces
      • MacOS from terminal, type: split -b 10m myEncodedFile.zip archive_part_
        • -b 10m: specifies the size of each split file
          • 10m means 10 megabytes. 
          • k = kilobytes, g = gigabytes
    2. reassemble on windows
