Post Directory Name

Specifies the directory name (path) on the external system in which a file is renamed. This setting is only for the Rename operation of the Post Transfer Command parameter. The value can be a literal or pattern name.

For outbound transfers, the directory is created if it does not already exist. 

Special characters are allowed, for example, the pattern %f indicates the original working directory name. The expansion of any special characters is carried out each time this parameter is used.

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.

See Table 46.

See Using Name Patterns.

Enter the exact name of the directory (with the path), enter a pattern name, or select one of the following values: 

• %f

• %f%#

• %f.%y%y%y%y%M%M%d%d.

  %h%h%m%m%s%s%S%S%S

• %f.copy

• %f.rename

Post Directory Name Is Pattern

Specifies whether the Post Directory Name represents a literal or a name pattern, as follows:

• Yes: indicates that the name value you enter is assumed to be a name pattern.

• No: indicates that the name value entered is a literal, an exact match. No pattern matching or name expansion is done.

  See Table 46.

Select Yes or No.

The configured default is No.

Post File Name

Specifies either the name of the file that the transferred file is renamed to (Rename) or the directory it is moved to (Move), depending on the setting in the parameter Post Transfer Command.

The value can be a literal or pattern name. 

Special characters are allowed. The expansion of any special characters are carried out each time this parameter is used. 

See Table 46.

Post Transfer Command

Allows you to execute a desired action directly after the actual file transfer. For an inbound transfer, you can mark the transferred file as “consumed” by making an automatic backup (Rename) or by destroying it permanently (Delete). For an outbound transfer, you can make the transferred file available to other clients by renaming it. The options are as follows:

• Rename: Rename the target file. Rename overwrites the file specified by the Post File Name and Post Directory Name, if it exists

• Copy: Copy the target file.

• Delete: Delete the target file (inbound transfers only).

• None: Do nothing.

Select Rename, Copy, Delete, or None.

The configured default is None.
