General tab

Enter the folder path attributes on this tab.
Option Description
Folder path

Enter the destination folder path that you want files to be copied to. The server must have write access to this folder. The input device can dynamically set the folder path.

Make sure to use the UNC path instead of a mapped drive because a mapped drive is local to your machine.

Normalize automatically paths and file names

Select this check box to replace incorrect symbols and special characters in the folder path with an underscore character ‘_’. When this check box is selected, the component will cut leading and trailing spaces and leading underscore character in each folder name in the path and in file names.

The component applies this option to the non existing folders in the folder path only.
Overwrite existing file

Select this check box to overwrite an existing file with the same name as a captured file. An error message is generated if this option is not selected and the component attempts to overwrite an existing file with the same name.

Rename file

Select this check box if you want the output file to be renamed.

If this check box is selected and a rename schema is not provided, then at run time the schema name defaults to ~STF::FileName~_~STF::Counter~~STF::FileExt~. For example, if the input file name is File.tif, then the file will be renamed File_1.tif.

Schema

Enter a schema for renaming files. You can use Runtime Replacement Tags (see RRT) to dynamically set the value of the schema at run time.

When both the Overwrite existing file and Rename file check boxes are selected, you cannot use the counter (~STF::Counter~) to distinguish otherwise identical file names generated by a schema. The component will replace a previously processed file with the same name instead of incrementing the count. You must clear the Overwrite existing file check box to increment the count and avoid overwriting a previously processed file.
Replace invalid characters with "_" Select this check box to replace invalid characters (/ \ | “ : < > * ? .) in the file names with the underscore symbol (_). If you don't select this check box and a file name contains one of the prohibited symbols, the file will be rejected.
Only add a counter when file exists Select this check box to instruct the component to add a counter value only when the file with the same name already exists in the destination folder.

For example, when the original file name is Ashes.pdf, the default rename schema is used, and this check box is selected, then the component will use the following logic for file renaming:

  • If there are no files with the same name in the output directory, the output file will be Ashes.pdf.
    When this check box is cleared, in this case the output file name will be Ashes_1.pdf.
  • If there is one file with the same name in the output directory, the output file will be Ashes_2.pdf.

Check user security Select this check box to have the system check the user's or sender's security level to verify the write access. This refers to a look up in the user's Active Directory Services to see if the user has security rights to copy the files to the designated folder.
User name Enter the user name for the directory. Click the browse button (...) to open the Windows Select User dialog box to specify a user name.
