Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to download a virtual machine template from the server in order to install a virtual machine from it on another server.
 
If source and destination host are both proxmox VE you can just use vzdump - see the documentation - https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore.

If the source system is not a Proxmox VE you can export the disk from the source system and use the importdisk command of qm (see `man qm`)

If the target system is not a Proxmox VE you can use the move_disk feature (also available in the GUI), to create a qcow2 or raw image on a directory storage, and use the other system's import facilities.

That is, for example, download the image of the template with the extension (.qcow-2) through the filsill and in the same way, download this file only to another server in the correct directory, will this be enough?
 
Not sure I understand the question right (what is filsill?).

If you use the Backup and Restore option - the backup-file (vzdump-qemu-$vmid-$timestamp.vma.lzo) gets saved on a filesystem, you need to transfer this file to the backup-location of the other server (e.g. /var/lib/vz/dump) - then you can restore it from the GUI

Ok, thank's. I must create backup of my template and move this on my secound server?
