Parameter	Description
After the completion of a successful file transfer the source file will be	Determines how a source file is handled after a successful transfer: Left as is: Retains the source file with the original name Deleted: Deletes the source file Renamed: Renames the source file with a valid name for the operating system of the host computer (256 characters). Moved: Moves the file to a specified location (full path only)
If the file of the same name as the destination file already exists:	Determines what to do to a file that has the same name as the destination file: Overwrite: Replaces the existing file with the transferred file Append: Attach the transferred file to the existing file, as well as, transfer multiple files into one combined file, using a wildcard character Abort: Cancels the file transfer Skip: Skips the file
After the completion of a successful file transfer the destination file will be	Determines how a destination file is handled after a successful transfer: Left as is: Retains the source file with the original name Renamed: Renames the source file with a valid name for the operating system of the host computer (256 characters). Moved: Moves the file to a specified location (full path only)
Create Empty File	Creates an empty file after a transfer on the destination host. If you are transferring a file or multiple files, the empty file is created in the directory where the file(s) are transfered. If you are transferring a directory, the empty file is created in the directory where the transfer directory is created.
Use temporary file prefix	Prevents overwriting files by attaching a temporary file prefix, such as FTP_ to the destination file until the transfer completes successfully. On OS/400 systems, the file name is limited to 10 characters. The temporary prefix can be up to 99 characters long on all other systems. The temporary file name that is created by applying the prefix must be a valid file name for the operating system of the destination host computer.
Continue on failure	Allows successive transfers to run when this specific transfer fails
Delete destination file on failure	Deletes the failed transferred file from the destination host. If you transferred multiple files, the last file that failed is deleted.
Do post AFT command on failure	Activates the defined post commands when the job fails.
