Specifying a Location Within the Source File Syste

<definition name="MYDEFINITIONNAME">
<source>
<sourceFilesystem area="D:\Inetpub\website" >
<pathSpecification>
<path name="monthly"/>
</pathSpecification>
</sourceFilesystem>
</source>

<target useReplicationFarm="MYFARMNAME">
<targetFilesystem area="C:\Inetpub\website"/>
</target>
</definition>

When deploying a specific location within the file system in order to get
"monthly" from the source "D:\Inetpub\website\" in to the target I have to
specifiy in the target node <targetFilesystem area="C:\Inetpub\website\monthly"/>

If not all the files from "monthly" just get dumped into the root.

To me this doesn't make sense. If I want to use/reuse this config file to deploy
different locations I would not only have to set the token <path name="$dir^"/>
but also have to do something like this as well <targetFilesystem area="C:\Inetpub\website\$dir^"/> or
<targetFilesystem area="$root_plus_dir^"/> if that would even work.

My questions is this correct? Is there a better/eiser way in doing this?

I think you'd have to do what you figured out - and yes the paramter substitution should work throughout the config file.

I've seen many cases where the directory on the source side does NOT match exactly with the directory name on the target side - so any change to this behavior would be a significant backward incompatibility.
