Add a File Set

The Add a File Set element allows you to specify a directory of files that will be processed by the task.

Field	Definition
Basic Tab
Base Directory	Specify the starting directory or file location for the File Set. The directory or file location must be accessible to the user who runs the MFT application. If no filters are defined, all files in this directory will be included. If the admin user enables the Restrict to Home Directory property, the restriction doesn't apply to the base directory.
Recursive	Specify whether or not to process files from all sub-folders within the base directory. Default is false.
Sort By	Specify whether to sort files by the last modified date. Default is none.
Sort Ascending	Specify the order to sort files. Select true to sort files in the ascending order. Select false to sort files in the descending order. Default is true.
Advanced Tab
Stability Time	Time in seconds that Managed File Transfer waits to check the file stability. For example, if stability time is 10 seconds, Managed File Transfer verifies after every 10 seconds whether the file is in the process of transferring or is transferred completely. Default is 5 seconds.
Stability Failure File List Variable	Variable where Managed File Transfer captures the files it found to be unstable.
