Downloading Multiple Files from S3 using a wildcard

Question

Hi team,I'm using Adobe Campaign Classic v8 with a File Transfer activity to download files from an Amazon S3 bucket. My S3 bucket contains multiple files with the same prefix, for example:Automation_1225950_20260717_1514.csvAutomation_1226051_20260717_1514.csvIn the File Transfer activity, I'm using the following path:adobe-incoming/Service_Automation_The workflow is:Scheduler → File Transfer → Data Loading However, the File Transfer activity only downloads/processes one file, even though multiple files match the prefix.My questions are:Is this expected behavior in ACC v8 for Amazon S3?	Is there a way to process all matching files in a single workflow execution?	If not, what is the recommended approach to load multiple files from S3 into ACC?Any guidance or best practices would be appreciated.Thank you!

This is expected behavior in ACC v8. The File Transfer activity typically processes one matching file per execution, not all files with the same prefix.

For multiple files, you’ll need to handle the file list externally (script/automation) and run the workflow per file, or combine the files into a single batch before loading into ACC. Prefix matching alone won’t trigger multi-file processing.
