FTP Rename Action

Description

The FTP Rename Action allows you to rename a file on the FTP server to a different name. A connection with the server must have already been established using the FTP Login step before you can use the FTP Rename action.

Paramters

Source
Specifies a UNIX style path and filename to the source file that is to be renamed. Wildcards are allowed if not connected in "compatibility mode".
Example: /foldername/filename.txt

Destination
Specifies the UNIX style path and filename that the file is to be renamed to. Wildcards are allowed if not connected in "compatibility mode".
Example: /foldername/newfilename.txt

Include subdirectories
If enabled and a wildcard mask is specified (such as *.* or *.txt). AutoMate will search into any sub folders for files matching that pattern. When disabled, AutoMate only processes files in the current and/or specified folder.

Notes

The file must exist on the server for this step to work. If AutoMateā„¢ cannot find the file you wish to rename on the connected server, the step will fail.

This step can also be used to move a file from one folder to another on a server without downloading it first. To do this simpley specify the orginal source folder and filename in the "Source" parameter, and the new destination folder and filename in the Destination Filename parameter.

Of course, this step will only work providing you have rights on the FTP server to perform it.
