This section explains how to verify that the file download functionality is working.

Connect to your remote editor session in your web browser. Click inside the editor viewport to ensure it has focus.
Press the H key on your keyboard.
- Expected Result: Your browser should automatically download the specific file you designated in the Get Project File Path node from the server.
