Renaming Files with FTP

This task will rename a file on a remote FTP Server

Settings

FTP Connection

Required
The FTP Connection to deleteĀ from. See the Connecting to FTP Server article for more information on how to create/manage connections.

Directory

Required
Initial Directory to move to on FTP Server e.g. /webdata. It is important that you use the 'Text or script' data type instead of 'Folder, HTTP or FTP location' for this setting. This will prevent Zynk treating it as a relative path and converting it to an absolute path on the local file system.

Filename

Required
The name of file to be renamed e.g. index.html. It is important that you use the 'Text or script' data type instead of 'File' for this setting. This will prevent Zynk treating it as a relative path and converting it to an absolute path on the local file system.

Output File

Optional
The new name for the file e.g. old_index.html. It is important that you use the 'Text or script' data type instead of 'File' for this setting. This will prevent Zynk treating it as a relative path and converting it to an absolute path on the local file system.

Prepend Timestamp

Required
Set to true to add a timestamp to the output file name.

Timestamp Format

Required
The format to use for the timestamp e.g. yyyyMMddHHmmss
