Receiving FTP Files Using the Original Filename

Use site commands to retrieve files using the original filename.

To receive FTP files using the original filename

1	Connect to your FTP server.

2	From the FTP directory, select the FTP fromvan folder.

3	Select the FTP file type folder you need.

Example: fromvan, fromvan/doc_<type>, or fromvan/<partner>

4	Perform the appropriate action:

If you want to...	Type...
Add a suffix to duplicate filenames	site filename
Repeat any duplicate filenames	site filename nosuffix

Note: Some FTP clients might not directly support SITE commands, which means you might need to use a QUOTE or LITERAL command when sending SITE commands. Consult your FTP client documentation.

The filename mode changes from documentID.type to original filename mode.

5	Type get <filename> or mget <pattern>.

Example: mget *.edi

The FTP server delivers your document to your hard drive where it is stored and processed.
