From Netmon
The Netmon Files Manager console provides a central location for managing various kinds of files, including data backups, traffic captures, proprietary SNMP MIBs and more. Here, you can view, download or delete files as needed.
To use the files manager, simply click the Files button in the top toolbar, and then make the appropriate selection from the Folder Explorer on the left side of the window.

Managing the Backups Folder
The Backups folder contains your Netmon data backups as well as various system-level backup files (including package repositories). This is the location where you can view, download or delete these items, by clicking the appropriate link next to each item.
If you see a 
icon next to any file, it means that Netmon does not recognize the file type. The default action for these file types is Download.
Managing the Enterprise MIBs Folder
The Enterprise MIB folder contains proprietary, enterprise-specific MIB files which have been uploaded through Netmon's Custom MIBs feature. You can view these files, download them, or print them.
If you see a icon next to any file, it means that Netmon does not recognize the file type. The default action for these file types is Download.
Managing Netmon Log Files
The Netmon Logs folder contains logging output for each of Netmon's background services, such as the IP Protocol Analyzer or Syslog Server. You may be directed to review these logs, or send them via email to Netmon Technical Support personnel.
The size and contents of these log files depends on the level of logging verbosity you have specified in Settings > Netmon Services.
If you see a icon next to any file, it means that Netmon does not recognize the file type. The default action for these file types is Download.
Managing Traffic Capture Files
The Netmon Traffic Captures folder contains .cap files which have been created using Netmon's low level packet capture utility. These files are prepared in a format which can be read and understood by Ethereal / Wireshark client software.
Traffic capture files need to be downloaded to your local system for analysis. They cannot be used from within Netmon itself.
If you see a icon next to any file, it means that Netmon does not recognize the file type. The default action for these file types is Download.
