Hi,

Very nice product which I’ve had running since 2015.

I am wondering if it is possible to include limited tag substation in the FTP Event path name so that a template can be used to create a series of “moment in time“ snap shots with unique file names. I understand that MySQL can be used to achieve the same end result. I’m just looking for something a little simpler.

I’m thinking that an FTP output file name could be weather[yyyy][mm][dd][HH][MM].dat and this would produce a
file name like weather202001171400.dat on the FTP server.

Alternatively it could simply be a [timestamp] tag or even [seqNo] - anything that makes it unique, since the real time can be included in the template itself.

Regards
Steve

strftime syntax should work on the path as well as template variables. Did you try?

No, but I will. Perhaps an example in the docs?
Thanks for help.

Hi,
I see now that the FTP camera event example in the docs demonstrates the use of the strftime substitution variables

Yes, the variables work fine.

Ps. Now all we need is auto mkdir if the complete directory structure is not present as many security cameras do.
