Apply-Orbit-File Step without internet

I want to be able to use a locally downloaded orbit file for the step Apply-Orbit-File on Sentinel-1 data files.

Im working on a script that will run on distributed systems and will process multiple scripts in parallel. To be able to do this I want to use previously downloaded Orbit files and not make multiple API calls to the http://step.esa.int/auxdata/orbits/Sentinel-1/ site. How to best approach tis problem

if the orbit file is present in this folder .\snap\auxdata\Orbits\Sentinel-1\POEORB\S1B\2016\10\ (example for october 2016), SNAP automatically takes it. So if your script manages to create year and months subfolders for the downloaded orbit files, it should work.
