Additional Settings

• These settings allow you to create a User, Group or Directory when they do not exist on a Host where the file will be uploaded. It also allows you to create a copy of the file and move it to a desired directory if one already exists before performing the action of adding the new file to the Host.

Create User: Creates the user from the Owner field if it does not exist on the Host. Create Group: Creates the access group from the group field if it does not exist on the Host. Create Directory: Creates the directory to save the file from the Path field if it does not exist on the Host. Backup: Creates a copy with date and time if a file with the same name and extension already exists in the same Path directory. Move Backup: Moves the created copy to the directory entered in the Backup Directory field.
