Current Timestamp being appended to the filename in File transfer activity

Hello,

We have a workflow that downloads files from a SFTP location. The download is successful but the current timestamp gets appended to the filename. We want to keep the filename as is when the download happens. Is there any way to disable this?

Here's the screenshot..

Thanks

Sree

Hi,

Use execCommand() with sftp/scp on the shell instead of File transfer activity.

It's more secure (can use keys) and doesn't have quirks.

Thanks,
