Folder
Enter the name of the folder on the FTP server you want to store the processed documents to. If the folder doesn’t exist it will be created if the provided user has rights to do so.
Filename

Since the “%” mark variables, the actual filename will be the word “Document” followed by the current year, a dash, current month, a dash, current day, a space, and a time stamp consisting of the hours in 24 hours format, the minutes and seconds. This will always create a unique filename, which also makes it easy to know the creation date just by looking at its name, for example: Document 14-08-05 14.18.03.
