ignition 8.1.3

I have a file upload that is taking excel file and pulling in data for parameter updates. That is all working well. When done with the upload I am saving the file to the Gateway.

What I would like to do is have something so that a client can see the list of files in that directory and either download them to their local machine from gateway and/or re-run the scripts that ran when it was initially uploaded.

Any general ideas and/or suggestions about how to do this. Would like to have this kind of function in ignition but If not can always just network share the saved file location, but I would prefer not to do that.

Load the file contents into a database. Add a timestamp column. You can then filter by date, auto-purge on scheduled task, etc., and generate dropdown lists by SQL query.
