I followed a suggestion from another post from 2013 which said to use only a period on the file extension type parameter. However when I do this the output file from the zip folder looks like this: `filename..`. If I set the extension type to nothing I get `filename.csv'. Is there a way to have it output just 'filename'? This is FME Server 2015.1

I don't see a way to do that, no. If you want to request that functionality then please contact our support team (http://www.safe.com/support) and let them know. I don't see any existing requests for this behaviour.

The only workaround I see is to write the file with a .csv extension and then move it afterwards. For example, use a shutdown script, or write the CSV with a FeatureWriter transformer and follow it up with a FileCopy Writer.
