Post Transfer Actions (WS_FTP Professional)

Post Transfer Actions (WS_FTP Professional)

Post transfer actions let you further process a source file after the transfer has been completed. If you are doing an upload, then the source file is in a local folder, and the post transfer action will be processed on the local machine. If you are doing a download, then the source file is in a remote folder, and the post transfer action will be processed on the remote server, if the server allows it.

You can choose from the following actions:

• POSTXFER - Enables Post Transfer Mode.
• PXDELETE - After the file transfer is completed, delete the source file(s) from the folder.
• PXRENAME <Rename Mask> - After the file transfer is completed, rename the source file(s) in the folder.
• PXMOVE <directory> - After the file transfer is completed, move the source files to a specified folder.
  Note: To move the file, the source location must have access to the specified folder. For example, you cannot move local files to a remote site; you can move files from a local folder to another local folder; or from a remote folder to another folder on the remote site.
• PXRENAME <Rename Mask> PXMOVE <directory> - After the transfer has completed, renames the source file(s) using the Rename Mask (described above), then moves the files to the specified directory on the source machine.
• POSTXFER PXOFF - Disables Post Transfer Mode.
