Changing OD target folders

djtangman

Can OD be setup to transfer files in a source path (e.g. .../dirA/subA/*.*) to a different path in the target server (e.g. /dirB/*.*)? If so, how?

It seems to me the the element is only good a specifying which files to transfer from the source, or including/blocking files from being deployed at the target. It in no way allows you to translate directory/folder structures on the target. The "area" attribute of the pathSpecification in both source and target set the "root" folder of the source and target independently, but as for whatever the subfolders are in the source, those get copied to the target without the possiblity of translation.

In other words, it seems that OD can only transfer the contents of source directory /dirA/subA/*.* to /dirA/subA/*.* It would be nice if I could specify /dirB/*.* instead.

Thanks

You can always do the parameter substitution,

ie

[HTML]
[/HTML]

and then while using the deployment set it with -k target_DIR="/blah"
