Rename Rules

You can configure CuteFTP to change the name of files automatically they transfer.

To configure the Rename Rules

1. On the main menu, click Tools > Global Options (or press ALT+F7).

2. Expand the Transfer node, then click Rename Rules. The Rename Rulesoptions appear.

3. Configure options as described below.

   • Select the Apply auto-rename rules to transfers check box to change the names of transferred files with names that appear in the Rename Rules list. Clear this check box and CuteFTP will not rename any files.

   • To create an auto-rename rule, type the original file name in the text box on the upper left, type the desired new file name in the text box on the upper right, then click Add.

   • To remove an auto-rename rule, in the Rename Rules list, click the rule you want to delete, then click Remove.

   • • The rules are case sensitive.

     • These rules will apply to all uploads, downloads, and site-to-site transfers.

     • You can create rules with wildcard masks to change just the extension of several files of the same type. For example, if your .jpg files need the extension in upper case (.JPG) on the server, create the rule:

       Rename from	Rename to
       *.jpg	*.JPG

     • You can create a rule to strip extensions from file names. For instance if you want to transfer a file called "index.htm" as simply "index" add this rule to your list:

     • Rename from	Rename to
       index.htm	index.*

4. Click Apply if you are going to make changes to other pages; click OK to save changes and close the Global Options dialog box.
