title: Databricks: Download a dbfs:/FileStore File to my Local Machine?
body: <p>I am using saveAsTextFile() to store the results of a Spark job in the folder dbfs:/FileStore/my_result.</p>
  
  <p>I can access to the different "part-xxxxx" files using the web browser, but I would like to automate the process of downloading all files to my local machine. </p>
  
  <p>I have tried to use cURL, but I can't find the RestAPI command to download a dbfs:/FileStore file. </p>
  
  <p><strong>Question: How can I download a dbfs:/FileStore file to my Local Machine?</strong></p>
  
  <p>I am using Databricks Community Edition to teach an undergraduate module in Big Data Analytics in college. I have Windows 7 installed in my local machine. I have checked that cURL and the _netrc files are properly installed and configured as I manage to successfully run some of the commands provided by the RestAPI.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you very much in advance for your help! 
  Best regards,
  Nacho  </p>
