You don't say which programming language you are using, but since Selenium is not designed for interacting with the OS I would recommend that you avoid using Selenium altogether. Just use the capability of your programming language to make an HTTP request to the server to retrieve the target file directly. Or just use wget or cURL.

I wanted to compliment the answer but can not do that, so I am writing my reply as an answer. Have you imported java.awt.event.KeyEvent; You will need this class for robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);

I have used Robot for uploading the attachment on webpage through Selenium and it works for me fine.

If you use java, you can try package java.awt.robot to send Ctrl+S keys.

For selenium Actions class should not support to do that.
