Multi-file read / multi-file write

The way most binary snaps function is to write the binary stream with a metadata document about the contents – kind of like the header in an HTTP request. For example here is some preview data of a MultiFileReader snap I’ve hooked up:

The content-location field will give the path to the file – the full path. This can be used in a FileWriter snap to write out each file with the same file name in a new location. Here’s an example of an expression that would do that:

Here’s the expression if you want to copy/paste and fill in your server specific information.
"sftp://transmissions-uat.testsite.com/Outbound/Encrypted/" + $['content-location'].split('/').pop()

I put together an example pipeline that hopefully will be useful for demonstrating how this all fits together.
