Append

Specifies whether to overwrite or append the data to the existing file. Use this parameter for outbound file transfers only. Choose the appropriate setting as follows:

• Yes: If the target file already exists, the data is appended to the existing file.

• No: The adapter overwrites the existing file on the remote system.

  If a file with the same name does not exist, both Yes and No create a new file on the external host.

Select Yes or No

The configured default is No.

Target Directory Name

Specifies the directory name (path) on the local system from which files are retrieved or where they are sent. The value can be a literal, regular expression (source), or pattern name (destination).

For outbound transfer (destination), the directory is created if it does not already exist. 

For path separator, use the forward slash “ / ” instead of the back slash “ \ ”. The adapter interprets the back slash as a special character. For example, use c:/temp/dir.
