The channel “Path” field should contain the directory path on the destination server where the files will be uploaded. That path can contain fixed strings and/or variables.

At the moment of distribution, {DATESTAMP} is replaced with the current date formatted as YYYYMMDD.

If performed on October 31, 2023, the path would be:

Note:

• /path/to/directory- is a fixed string; it’s the same for every distribution

• Path variables begin with { and end with }
