Right-click, Save As...?

Sometimes that works -- if you're clicking on a link phrase, it will.
If someone has left you a complete URL path to the file, and you Go to that, it
will do a "left button" load to its temp file, no way to override.

So... Let it save it to it's temp file, then select save, save page,
or save page as. One should work. It will not go through another
download. It's will just copy the temp file to where you want it and
you can name it , or use the original.

Or in the case of a true ftp as has been mentioned, just drag and
drop. Explorer treats most files as if they were on the computer. So,
you treat them the same way.

In XP it's difficult to tell , unless looking at the address whether
the address is on the net, or a local folder and just as easy to move.
But as has also been mentioned, they never bother to tell the user
that.
