Unable to download large files from FileBridge to my desktop

Unable to download large files from FileBridge to my desktop, or list folders with large numbers of files

Problem:

When trying to copy a file from FileBridge to your local computer, you may receive a message similar to the following:

Or if trying to access a folder with over 10000 files in it, a message similar to the below might show up:

Reason:

The FileBridge connection uses WebDAV. By default, most operating systems limit the file size to 50Mb on the user's workstation, the value needs to be changed manually to allow larger file sizes.
Similarly, most operating systems allow the listing of 10000 files by default, anything above that will show the second error displayed above.

Solution:

One way to fix this is to download the new version of the FileBridge Mapper which contains a fix that increases the maximum file size limit to 4Gb.  This would require resetting up your MapFileBridge Utility on your workstation
You can also run the Auto-Fix utility which will make the necessary changes to your workstation to allow the larger file download.
This fix will require a computer reboot to take effect.
