Re: "\" in ifs file name

You may want to use the commands available in QShell to do this if you haven't already tried.

How have you tried to rename the files?

I received a group of files from on outside client via ftp that is named with a back slash in the beginning of the name. I have been trying to rename the file but the command can't find the file because it converts the '\' to a directory delimiter. Is there a way to rename this file?

'/ftpgpl/ftp/in/\4file2.txt'

Object link Type
\4file2.doc STMF
\4file3.xls STMF
