Using PERL to filter by extension - MFT-IS v8.2.1

[Riaan Schwabe]

Our organization is having a problem transferring files to another organization that's using MFT-IS 8.2.1. Our company's software is using WinSCP C# to upload files to the destination server and uses the -Transfer Resume feature built into WinSCP. During the upload, a temporary file is created. For example:

 

"""

ExampleFile.filepart.xml

"""

This file is being picked up and moved to a destination folder prior to WinSCP ( C# ) being able to finish its upload. Normally, upon successful completion the "DestinationFile.filepart.xml" would be renamed to "ExampleFile.xml" and then moved to it's destination folder for processing. Weve asked if their MFT-IS team can configure the job running through MFT-IS to:

 

 

Only process files with a .XML extension

 

 

Delay processing of files that are uploaded to that folder

 

 

Ignore .filepart files

 

 

Trigger job only upon successful rename of file

 

 

It doesn't look like you can use Windows OS to filter file extensions with this software. I've been told that using PERL they can filter by extension. Is there any documentation on this Could someone provide an example of how someone would do this
