Hello - I have an FME automation, that downloads the attachments from an email trigger using SMTP protocol. There is slight issue, each time when the job is triggered via received email, FME Server is creating a folder under my desired location, instead of overwriting the file with the same name email attachment. any thoughts or suggestions ?

 

I have attached screenshot of the automation configuration and also target location where FME Server is creating multiple folders. The file name EPS_DATA.csv

Yes, FME Server does this to make sure that all attachments are kept and none are overwritten. What you can do to workaround this is to have an FME workspace process the downloaded file. The downloaded path should be in the automation. You can have a simple workspace to just move the file(s) with a PATH reader and the FILECOPY writer.
