How to copy files from an FDA regulated equipment without modifying
Q: We are trying to run a copy of files from an FDA regulated equipment to an external NAS. That part we’ve got down. Works great. The item that I have not figured out is that since these are regulated devices. Files cannot be modified. If they are, there’s an issue. Is there a way so that if a file has been modified on the source, it is NOT copied to the destination NAS with the same name, but instead is copied with a rename function tied to is (such as extending the name with ‘changed-yyyymm hhmm’) or similar. Newly created files, would be copied with their original names in place. Only modified/changed flies would be renamed. Would this have to be a second copy rule or can we do all of this within one. Thanks for the assistance.
A: this option is available under the “File & Directory” tab of your Windows as Destination setup:
Please adjust “File Options” to: “Add dot datetime (pre-ext) suffix if exists”. DateTime suffix format will be YYYMMDDHHNNSS.
This “Add dot datetime (pre-ext) suffix if exists” option was added in v2023.7.10.0

How to move a folder tree and files when the subfolder matches my criteria
Q: How to move a folder tree and files when the subfolder matches my criteria. I want to move a folder tree (with his files) from « home » only when the level 2 subfolder match “pour_ftv_editorial”. The source is FTP and destination is Windows folder.
Limagito check the source folder « home »
Limagito move in the destination folder « home_out »
SOURCE (FTP)
Destination (Windows Folder)
A: This should be possible using the following “Directory filter”:
Enable “Include Subdirectories to allow us to scan the subfolders of your Source.
Enable “Exclude Basedirectory” because we don’t want to pickup files from the Root Source folder.
As Include Directory name filter we will use: */pour_ftv_editorial/*
Feedback user: “it works! Great”
