When using a fanout on a writer and the fme server datadownload service, is it possible to get a zipfile that does not include the top level directory "dataset"?
ex.
Destination Fanout Directory : $(FME_SERVER_DEST_DIR)
Fanout Expression: A\\file
will produce a zipfile containing
dataset\\A\\file
and what I would like is just
A\\file
Is this using FME Server 2017?
I have had the same issue using the $(FME_SERVER_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA) as a destination folder.
That too adds the folder to the ZIP download.

Hi @erik_jan and @jdh
I think I may have an answer, shown as images:
In workbench:
Result of the download (unzipped):
Some more findings:
If I leave dest destination folder empty, or assigned to a parameter it gives me the folder called 'dataset' within the zip folder and then all of the data.
If in workbench I set the destination directory to Desktop (for example) it goes zip > Desktop > data (instead of zip > dataset > data). It always seems to pick up the last folder in the path to use as the top level folder.
If I set the output director in workbench to just be a . (working directory) it goes zip > folder (named the same as zip file) > data
