According to the [post](https://forum.modalai.com/topic/1320/how-to-convert-voxl-map-files-esdf-and-tsdf-to-other-format?_=1670478265728), I used the new version of voxl-mapper and I can save the map into gltf, obj, ply.

If I want to download the gltf file from the drone, I have to use a cable to connect with drone and my mac. So that, I can use the scp command to download gltf, obj, ply files from the drone.

Are there any other ways to download the gltf, obj, ply file without using cable?

If someone knows that, I would be appreciated it.

Hi,

You won't be able to scp over the cable. If you're plugged in with a cable you'll be able to ```adb pull``` the files. If your drone is connected to the same network as your computer (either via an ethernet cable or wifi) you'll be able to scp it.

Also, as of v0.3.3 of voxl-portal, you can directly download the mesh via the `Map` page. This functionality is included in the latest sdk0.9 release

@Alex-Gardner @Matt-Turi 
Thank you for quick reply. It help me a lots.

In conclusion,
- via cable, I can use `adb pull` to download file.
- via local network, I can use `scp` to download file.
- latest version, I can download file via `voxl-portal Map page`.
