The destination file naming rules for transmitted reports are as follows:
1. If an external naming source is selected from the External naming
source list, the path and file name provided by it are used as is. If
it is not given, the rules below apply.
2. The destination directory is the first part of the path. It may be
empty, that is, no fixed path exists.
3. FTP client uses the built-in file naming rules to create rest of the
path and the file name:
a. If the option Use Station Name in Path is selected in the FTP
client configuration; the station name will be added as the next
path element.
b. If the option Generate daily files is selected in the FTP client
configuration in the IP Services view, reports for one day are
appended into a single file. Its name is created from the report
name and current timestamp. UTC or local time is used as
specified by the option Use local time. The file name follows
the format:
<Report_Name>YYMMDD.rep
where YY = year, MM = month, and DD = date.
c. If the option Generate daily files is not selected, each report
will be placed in its own file named in a similar manner as the
daily file, but with hours, minutes, and seconds appended to
the file name:
<Report_Name>YYMMDDhhmmss.rep,
where hh = Hours, mm = Minutes, ss = Seconds.
