A Post Transfer Action (PTA) is a program that is invoked on the server after a file has been successfully uploaded to the server. For example, you might configure a PTA that invokes a batch file to rename or move the uploaded file. You can perform a PTA on all uploaded files, or use a configurable filter to execute the action only on files that match the filter specification.
Note the following:
By default, Post Transfer actions act on all files uploaded to this server. A filter option is available that enables you to limit the action to all files that match the filter specification.
The order of actions in the list on the Post Transfer Actions does not control the order of execution for these actions. To ensure that a series of actions takes place in a predictable sequence, include the actions in one batch file. For example, if you want to rename an uploaded file and then move it, put these actions in the correct sequence in a single batch file.
Outputs from one Post Transfer Action cannot be used as inputs to another Post Transfer Action.
Failed execution of a Post Transfer Action does not prevent other Post Transfer Actions from executing.
Post Transfer Actions are executed only after successful transfers. They do not run after unsuccessful (or canceled) transfers.
Post Transfer Actions are not supported for downloads or other file transfer events (such as renaming or deleting a file on the server).
Post Transfer Actions are global; they cannot be configured as part of a subconfiguration.
