File name display option in a VFD

Problem

-- We want to send a file to a customer via XFB gateway as a fixed filename.
    When our customer logs on via FTP, he sees the filename as sxxxxx.filename (where xxxxx is unique transfer number).
How can we get rid of this Sxxxxx in the filename.

Resolution

-- For FTP and SFTP protocol, you can determine how to display the file name for each VFD. You can choose one of the following options:

       1-s.XferIdent.filename (default)
       2-File name only

So, to display only the file name , right click on the VFD used by this ftp user > properties > and set the "File name display option" to "standard".
