File naming for FTP Imports

Specify how the files uploaded to the FTP site should be named. You can type ‘{{{‘ to include a predefined timestamp or unique file identifier in your file name. For example,

FileXYZ-{{{timestamp “YY-MM-DD” “America/Los_Angeles”}}}.txt

will upload files with the following pattern:

FileXYZ-16-06-30.txt in America/Los_Angeles time. Or, FileXYZ-{UUID}.txt

will upload files with the following pattern:

FileXYZ-69368e91d9a440f79165b73afd46859d.txt

using the unique ID (UUID) of the file. You can also include whatever file extension you like, and the file extension will never change the type of data generated.
