The default file name is formatted as
“YDOC_<sysname>_<sn>_<yy><mm><dd>_<hh><nn><ss>” and

You can customize the file name to your liking and use substitutions like <sysname> for your
“system
name
”, <sn> for the serial number, <name> for the FTP “driver name” as well as various timestamp
tokens like <hh> for a 2-digit hour of the day or <h> for hour of the day without leading
0’s. For a 4 digit
year presentation use <yyyy>.
Note that
<m> or <mm> is used for months and <n> or <nn> for minutes.
