Hi,

I have a FTP job that copys data from a share to a FTP site. When the job succes the file is moved to a "archive" folder on the share.

I need help to rename the file when&nbsp;moved to the folder so I can se when I was moved.

fx. file.txt -\> file\_01012010.txt when moved.

Is there a simple way to do that?

Best regards

Gordon
