You browse datasets in the catalogue. Find the dataset you want to download there and open it.

On the page of the dataset, stay on the tab "Overview". The line "Filename" holds the identifier of the dataset, a long code of letters, digits and hyphens. It is marked in yellow in the picture.

Copy the identifier.
