# Exporting

## Exporting folders to your local computer

To export a folder from Orion to your local computer, do the following:

1. On the Editing page select the folder that you want to export.
2. Click the Actions gear and select Export as zip from its drop-down menu.
3. The contents of that folder will be downloaded to your local computer as a zip file. Use your browser's download view to find the downloaded file.

Tip: The Export as zip menu entry is actually a hyperlink that you can bookmark and fetch at any time. For example you can use a command line tool such as wget to fetch that zip file URL from your Orion workspace to export to any remote computer.

## Exporting a single file to your local computer

To export a single file from Orion to your local computer, do the following:

1. On the Editing page select the file that you want to export.
2. Click the Actions gear and select Raw from its drop-down menu.
3. The contents of that file will be shown directly in your browser. Use your browser's Save command to copy the file into a local directory.

## Exporting over SFTP

You can also export files to another networked computer using the SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP):

1. On the Editing page select the folder that you want to export.
2. Click the Actions gear and select SFTP to... from its drop-down menu.
3. Fill in or select the host and path to export files to.
4. Click Start Transfer to begin exporting. Progress will be shown in the title area until the import completes.
