dsh-download-files
A DeepSeek Harness plugin that replaces the Show file location buttons with Download file buttons.
When the Harness runs on a NAS, a server or in Docker, "show file location" has no file manager to open on your machine. With this plugin the button downloads the file through your browser instead.
Install
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-download-files
Use the name of the profile your Harness runs with. The plugin loads live; restart the Harness only if the command says a restart is required.
Usage
Nothing to configure. The download button (with a download icon) appears wherever the folder button used to be:
- file cards under an agent reply (
present) and in the changed-files review tab
- the toolbar of a file open in the sidebar preview
- the empty state of a file the preview can't render
How it works
The plugin adds an authenticated GET /api/download.file route to the Harness and registers its buttons in the same UI slots as the stock ones, shadowing them. Downloads stream straight to disk by the browser, so large files are fine. Files are served under the same access rules as the Harness's own file preview.
Limitations
- Single files only; folders are not downloadable.
- The "Open in…" button for the workspace folder is not changed.
- Tested with DSH
0.1.7-rc.2. It depends on the stock open-in-app plugin's slot names.
Uninstall
dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-download-files
Releasing
Bump version in package.json (npm version patch), push, then publish a GitHub Release whose tag matches (gh release create vX.Y.Z --generate-notes). A workflow publishes it to npm; it needs an NPM_TOKEN repository secret.
