Use File Transfer Naming Templates

A file transfer template defines a set of conditions that affects the way Reflection names files transferred between your PC and a host. Whereas transfer request files are used to transfer the same file or set of files between your PC and a host, file transfer templates affect how files transferred between your PC and a host are named.

When activated, Reflection checks transfer templates in the specified order, and tries to match the transferring filename to template conditions. When a match is found, the matching template is applied.

Reflection installs some default templates, but you can also add your own, and specify the sort order (using the Move up and Move down buttons).
