Hi @jdh

 

Is this using FME Server 2017?

At the moment, I'm using 2016, but I will be upgrading to 2017.1 in August (assuming it's released).

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.

And I noticed this in FME Server 2016 and 2017.

 

 

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

For some reason I had to recreate the workspace from scratch, but putting " ." in the fanout dir is now producing a zip file with the desired folder structure.
