Introduction:-
This blog is useful consultants/Admins/functional folks who can't not have access to operating system to transfer cofiles and data files
This blog describes detailed steps “How to upload and download cofiles/data files directly from SAP” pretty useful. You don’t need to have access to OS.
How to Do: Download and upload Co-files/Data files (Transports) directly from SAP
- Standard directory for cofiles in SAP - /usr/sap/trans/cofiles/K<number>.SID. This path may be different for you. Please check right path with parameter DIR_TRANS using t-code AL11
In our case DIR_TRANS = /usr/sap/trans

Make sure that co-files and data files are available on Application servers. Please note that in case transport is not released data and co-files won’t be available.
T-code al11 -> double click on DIR_TRANS
Navigate to /usr/sap/trans/cofiles directory and look for file you wanted to download

Similarly navigate to /usr/sap/trans/data directory and look for a file you wanted to download
