User support request:

I have some files that are failing and in seems that they all have an asterisk in front. Is there a way to resolve this?
Here are a few examples. I also attached the log file.

*RPSD, *REL, etc...

Thanks,

* is an allowed character on unix filesystems but not allowed in windows filenames.
i.e. try creating a new text file with *test.txt as the name on windows. It will give you a message saying that / \ * ? < > : " | are not allowed characters.

You could use the rename field to rename * to _ or ast_ etc.. during the ftp
transfer

filename field = *
rename field = _
