Transfers Using File Name Tokens

File Name Tokens are a feature of MFT Platform Server. Given a string of tokens-characters containing a mixture of literal and substitution parameters-MFT Platform Server for IBM i generates a formatted file name that you can use to create or read file names based upon date, time, user and file transfer information. File name tokens work with all MFT Platform Server send and receive file and IFS file commands.

Thus, instead of entering a standard file name, you enter a name that consists of tokens.
