Transfer As..file rename

Ants · 08-08-2003, 04:57 AM

If you do a "transfer as" i notice in the help file that it says it changes the name before download.

Does it actually use the new file name during transfer ??

i.e. if the file was called "Henry" on the server and i told it to 'transfer as' "Billy" what file name would my Admins see when the file was transfered to my machine

i.e. if there was a filename on a server that i didn't neccessarily want my admin to read could i rename it before download with "transfer as"

Thanx but i realise that the file name is changed once its on my HD....

but what i wondered was what would the file name be During the transfer.....if the admin decided to view the downloaded logs which file name would they see had been downloaded or for that matter if they were to observe the download in real time what would they see..the original name ro the 'Transfer as' name ???

the admin sees the original filename, the new name is given to the file once it ends up on your hard drive
