Hi @lalandexavier,
I think the best way to solve this, is to start with a Creator transformer, followed by an AttributeCreator. Within the AttributeCreator you can set an attribute containing the current date and additional information if you like. For example:
@DateTimeNow(%Y%m%d).zipThe example would return 20180328.zip as attribute value, since todays date is March 28th, 2018.
This attribute can be used in a FeatureReader, where you choose your filetype and set the dataset to a path and the attribute.
You could add the path to the attribute, but you could also make a Parameter to set the path. That is up to you.

I try to manage my FeatureReader but my file is rejected :

For information the format @DateTimeNow(%Y%m%d) didn't works I used @DatetimeFormat(@DateTimeNow(),%Y%m%d)

+10It's perfect but in my case I used the transformer GoogleDriveConnector in addition to the transformer AttributeCreator.
