Field | Description |
Task name | Type a unique name for the task. |
File filter | Type the name of the file if you want to filter files with specific names. By default, ActiveTransfer Server considers all files. If you want to use regular expression, specify a valid regular expression in File filter and select Use regular expression option. Note: You can use wildcard characters to filter the file names. For example, type *.zip to trigger the action only when ZIP files are uploaded or downloaded. To trigger an action based on a name string in the ZIP files, use the name string in the File filter box, preceded and followed by wildcard characters. For example, type *invoice*.zip to trigger the action based on the file URLs, when ZIP files containing the character string invoice in their file names are uploaded or downloaded. If you define a File filter for a task, the task acts only on files that are filtered out. Few examples for regular expressions are: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Delete original ZIP file | Select this option to delete the original ZIP file after it is unzipped. |
Destination location | Select one of the following options to configure the location to which the contents of the file will be extracted: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Tip: If you want to connect to a remote server using a secure protocol (FTPES, FTPS, HTTPS or SFTP) and want to configure authentication using secure key exchange, create a folder for the remote server and configure the certificate alias parameters. You can then use the folder that you configured in the Virtual folder option of the Source location in the task. ![]() Note: The virtual folder that you select should be configured on the same ActiveTransfer Server instance on which the action is configured. |
Assign partner | Select this option if you want to assign a partner for the action and do one of the following: ![]() ![]() Note: For virtual folders, use this option only if you want to override the partners configured for the folders. |
