File transfer activity - No suffix after download

Question

Hello,

Is it possible to disable the suffix added to the downloaded files on the File transfer activity?

The file "attach1.pdf" downloaded like this:

The filename afterwards will be: attach1_20231003101346a.pdf.

I can remove the suffix via JS code, but I'm wondering if there's any way to remove this suffix.

Thanks in advance!

With Marcel's suggestion in mind, I ended up using the copyTo method from the File Class (experienceleague.adobe.com/developer/campaign-api/api/m-File-copyTo.html)

This way, it's transversal between operating systems.

Hello @jorgeferreira,I think this cannot be turned off.. MIght be.. but you need to work with vars.filename and use js and shell script to rename file if needed.   //vars.filename = "atach1_29509ulkjflr390ru.pdf"var matches = vars.filename.match(/([^_]+)(?=_)(_.+\.([^.]+))/);if (matches && matches.length === 4) {  var fileBaseName = matches[1],      extension = matches[3],      fileName = fileBaseName + "." + extension;   logInfo("Filename:", fileName); // This will output: Filename: atach1.pdf  try{   //in case you use linux based OS   execCommand('mv "/path/to/your/'+vars.filename + ', "/path/to/your/'+ filename+'"', true);  }catch(e){    //handle error  }}  EDIT: I have not checked if vars.filename contains path as well. but if it does then you would change the code a bit to extract path, filename and extension.
