"To select this file, you have to click here."

Translation: Pour sélectionner ce fichier, tu dois cliquer ici.

Why not dossier? Is this not also a file?

[Pur__0_0__]

Dossier means folder. Fichier means file.

[JoanneDela8]

Any answer yet on why dossier is incorrect?

[C610012]

Dossier is a folder and fichier is a file. In English they mean much the same most of the time, but I think that is why it wont accept dossier.

[Michael672948]

Fichier or dossier should be accepted for this answer. Even duolingo's own suggested translations for file.suggest both words in translation

[GraemeSarg]

Only "fichier" should be accepted, since you clearly cannot click on "un dossier" which is not a folder.

If you think that this file could be "un dossier" then you clearly have not understood the French sentence.

I used "Pour sélectionner ce fichier on doit cliquer ici", marked wrong. Can someone please tell me what is wrong? Thank you

[Noklip1]

I'm not sure sorry, i tend to translate the general 'you must' (as in 'one must) to 'il faut'. Does accept 'il faut cliquer ici'.

[GraemeSarg]

It's not wrong. It's Duo's (deliberate) error. Report it.

[cheesemom]

"Fichier" et "dossier" sont les deux donné comme mots pour "file".

[GraemeSarg]

But this file can only be a computerised file and "un dossier" cannot be a computerised file.

Pour sélectionner ce fichier, il faut cliquer ici. Accepted :)
