File mask for selecting the files to be downloaded in the source directory of the server. The file mask can contain * as a placeholder for no or any number of characters and ? as a placeholder for any character. Multiple masks can be specified separated by |.

Examples:

* - matches all files

*.txt - all files ending in ".txt".

*.txt|*edi* - all files ending in ".txt" and all files containing "edi" in the name.

 

After download...

Here you can set what to do with successfully downloaded files on the server. The following options are available:

 

leave remote file unchanged - do nothing

delete remote file from server - delete the file from the server

move remote file to another directory - move the file to the specified directory on the server

 

Upload files

The directory on the SFTP server to upload files to. Enter without final "/" (will be removed automatically when saving). If connection and login data have already been entered correctly, the directory can be selected via the magnifying glass icon using a direct connection to the server.

 

File name during upload

Here you can set whether files are to be uploaded to the server with a name other than the local file name.

 

local file name - file name remains unchanged during upload.

custom (rename to local file name after successful upload) - files are uploaded with a different name and only renamed back to the local file name after successful upload. The partner may use the alternative upload name as an indicator that the file has not yet been processed further. The name to be used for the upload can be freely selected. A * in the upload name is replaced by the local file name. For example, if *.tmp is specified as the upload name, the file test.txt will be uploaded with the name test. txt.tmp and, if successful, renamed to test.txt on the server.

 

If a file already exists...

Here you can define what should happen if a file with the same name already exists on the server during the file upload.

 

skip upload - do not upload file

overwrite existing file - overwrite existing file
